In My Sight
sunny orange orb
it beckons my attention
i wish i could fly
**NOTE – This is the second piece that didn’t make the cut for Pure Haiku’s Encircling Theme.
Prudency
behold clouded view
nature’s intent camouflaged
next steps are mindful
Extending
the sun beams guidance
no borders in the spiral
spirit soars higher

The Things They Can’t Unsee
their ivory poached
military grade weapons slaughter and disfigure
collectibles funding armed groups and organized crime
the cycle of violence never ends
they experience brutality in captivity
physical and emotional trauma
while entertaining the crowds
calves endure the harsh breaking rituals
exploitation of their backs
while tourists laugh and pose
breaking them in causing life-long suffering
of chronic pain and distress
encroachment on their territories
their homeland shrinks
crops are damaged
villagers retaliate and more elephants die
matriarchs and males in their prime are killed
all this savagery to make orphans
consciousless humans decimating their social structure
and destroying family bonds
when will these atrocities end?
**NOTE – These two organizations work on conservation efforts to stop the poaching, promote ethical tourism, and protect habitats – Save the Elephants and Wildlife Conservation Network. Please support if you are inclined to do so.
