My "Endangered Animal" Poem

Come on don't you have a heart?
You don't want these animals to depart ?
Forget the x factor and the top ten singing chart,
What about the endangered animals and the poison dart.

The arnour leopard, the Siberian tiger and polar bear ,
They are so gorgeous, it is just not fair.
If I say their Latin name, will you listen more ?
Oh Louis please do nt say this is a bore.

Varanus komodenis, komodo dragon by the way.
Why does man have to take them all away?
Man you are such a fool.
Snakes killed alive for handbags that is just not cool.

Please listen to my passion, although it may not be in fashion.

I can not sing it, you might laugh,
I can not dance, you would say I was daft.
But I am seven
And I want these animals to last!!

Going, going gone...

You may say I am only seven,
But I don’t want the animals to go to heaven
before they have a decent life,
I don't want them to be cut up with the butchers knife,

You may say I am rather small,
But what I believe in my heart is big and tall,
Endangered animals need to be saved,
those who hunt and kill them are depraved,

Michael I hear you do a funny pitch,
But it is no joke when the red lemur ends in the ditch,
David I hear you are from the big USA,
So help us to keep greedy poachers away,
Forget Baywatch - lets animal watch eh !
Beautiful, peace loving vegetarian Amanda,
You share these traits with the giant panda,
The black rhino has lived for a million years,
Why kill it for its horns, that s just superstitious fears,
The African Wild Dog,
The Pigmy Hog,
The Hamilton Frog,
The Hispid Hare,
The Polar Bear.
The Common Skate,
Who are WE to decide their fate !!

RESPECT FOR RHINO

The rhino has lived for millions of years,
Who are we to destroy it, just 'cause of superstitious fears,

Enormous, enchanting, beautiful beast,
He needs our voice, lets give him that, at least !

Greedy poaches, breaking the laws,
Always wanting more and more.

Killing up to two a day,
Imminent extinction!! Please no way !
Listen to these creatures cry out in pain,
Poachers, you should hang your heads in shame ,
The acrid reak of death fills the hunters soul,
Help me please, this is getting out of control.

I saw a rhino, his horn had been cut away,
Barely breathing, unable to smile or play.

My eyes are filled with tears, come on, join my crusade,
Lets do all we can to end this sickening trade !!
