Ode to Eko
Eko Eko burning bright
In thy heart beats delight.
So quiet and calm, hold your power
Waiting for the rightful hour.
That immoral hand comes to spy.
I cannot ask the question why.
All I know is that I must bite
And I do with all my might!
Through the cage comes a shot.
The pain is great, searing hot.
Man kills me, He makes his choice
Species die without a voice.
Eko Eko eyes were bright.
Now they're dark as the night.
What loss we have no more to see.
What have we lost for you and me.
By John Knapp with inspiration from: Bill Blake, David Attenborough and the late Eko, Malayan tiger, Nalpes Zoo.
