Northern White Rhino



Shifting the clock back into time
Brilliant worlds of green and yellow
Millions of Creatures lying lazily in the scorching sun
Numerous Northern White Rhinos sitting in the shade
Unknown of the danger lurking in the bush.

North African Treasure
Stolen away from their land,
The last of its kind.
Relentlessly roaming, waiting for them to strike.
Waiting to see how it will play out.

Watching the world they knew dying from above
Millions of creatures up in the clouds
They took the world by storm.
Surviving ice ages, earthquakes and meteor strikes,
Finally met the end with us.
