Scientific research on the whales,

or "Mother Goose and Other Fairy Tales"

And what will findings say when they're complete?

"Oh yes, we've proved they're good enough to eat!"

Ivory, the chess sets of the rich,

that's nice - although for elephants - a bitch!

They rip the tusks out cruelly, leave the rest,

and boast about which hunter is the best.

Amazon: the Treasure Chest of Earth,

yet all they care is how much dough it's worth,

they rip it out and swear that it's all right,

I wonder how they sleep in bed at night.

So many things are precious - close to gone,

yet still we see this greedy feast go on,

it's time we all stood up and said "Enough!"

As governments don't seem to give a stuff.

The greed that drives the slaughter must be stopped,

a plan is there, it's one you can adopt,

if you would like a planet ALL can share

then shout it out - and tell the world you care!
