Poetry by Michael Bechayda

Gentle Giant

People kill and eat

A protected creature they see

Harmless in every way

Gentle giant indeed

Threatened Species

Around the world

Some people could care less

If they become extinct

Protected in some parts of the world

Not really enforced

What "Laws" are set for them

Illegal in so many ways

And even groups that care to protect

Such gentle creatures

Are having a hard time

Getting their voice heard

Just take a stand

For what you believe

And think if its right or is it wrong

Choose and pick it is your choice
