Ignorance Fuels Merciless Ivory Demand Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

Ignorance Fuels Merciless Ivory Demand



Chinese middle class economic strong bursts
free of centuries poverty cycles in numbers
several hundred millions Chinese middle class
cannot honour live without new pride status

ivory luxury chopsticks jewelry 70% of Chinese
think are told elephant tusk teeth just fall out
of elephant mouths harvest like apples from trees
ignorance is reason merciless ivory traders can kill?
