The last white rhino dead! A hole
In our collective memory
A branch lopped off from Nature's tree.
Long hunted for his precious tusk
Poachers turned his life to dust
Their ignorance and stupid greed
Mean no white rhinos now can breed.
In Kenyan wild they are no more
Last lifeless form on jungle floor
Once lost, the link can't be renewed
In evolution terms, we're screwed...
Zoos remain a last resort
Film images will soon be sought
Frail vestiges of what we've lost
Man learns too late and to his cost...
More species vital to our lives
Are hunted to extinction, guys;
David Attenborough was right
Our world is in a sorry plight!
