Forever Stories Elephant

A weary herd of elephants, trudges lazily along a dusty, well-worn path

Back from the watering hole after a frolicking, playful, cooling bath .

Unhurried, undisturbed, by the dust-settling, earthy scented, evening rain

As the sinking sun, for its final curtain call, settles on the African Plain

For yet another day, the largest land animal, leads its tribe members

The hunter’s noisy helicopters blades, that trauma she vividly remembers

Let’s save our ellies from butchering poachers and greedy ivory traders

Protect our beautiful bushveld, from these cunning, unscrupulous invaders .
