No Legacy

No more the elephants Will there be When they have Taken all their ivory. This giant, so big and strong, Who will leave no legacy Like many more, like the dinosaur Who are now just history. So you and I can only try To show how we abhor The treatment of these giants Who soon will be no more. We know man's greed Will not stop at killing these The dolphins and the whales Rhinos, then the trees. The earth is good with all its green And all its infinite features But what good would all this be Without these living creatures? No more the elephent Will there be When they have taken All their ivory. And destroyed Their Legacy.
