Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Earth Day '21, Eastern Black Rhino - LP Zoo

On Earth Day, twenty twenty one

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo

Conservation work's being done,

But so much more we need to do.

The eastern black rhino does be

An endangered animal that

Is being killed relentlessly

By poachers, and we need combat

Such slaughter that is solely borne

By the belief that does exist

Of cure power in rhino horn,

Proven fiction that does persist.

Efforts to stop such poaching crime

Need be strengthened while there's still time.
