THE KILL I saw the dead elephant Lying carelessly In a swarm of whining flies Brutally mangled Tusks gorged out Contorted limbs immobilised. There goes another one Another mammoth turned quiet One more vanquished For a pair of those whites To decorate one mantel piece Or add jest to one's #life. Wonder why this madness To kill and destroy To empty this world Of all that God made right Of all that was meant to live and die With us and beyond our graceless #life.
