She, the last <br />Gently touching and turning <br />She caresses and reads their bones <br />They retain <br />Millennium memories <br />Murder for tusks, blood and pain <br />The earth had become too small <br />Inevitable slaughter <br />Hungry homeless elephants that must eat <br />Must also die <br />For drinking too much water<br /><br />Simone Inez Harriman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/elephant-2/
