“The essence of elephant hunting is discomfort in such lavish proportions that only the wealthy can afford it.”
¬ – Beryl Markham, West With The Night
Tembo, Monarch of the African forest,
The grandest and wisest land creature there is,
May soon go extinct unless people protest
The use of his tusks in the jewelry biz.
His poachers, more brutal than he is, should be
Done in themselves for doing in Ganesh.
But the rich one-percenters, if you care to ask me,
Should be taxed till they all go flat broke and vanish.
