Is It Worth Killing Me?

there's vomit on pianokeys,
disgustingly draped over lost songs,
devotion lays broken on the ground,
singing voices turned to screaming,
sadly, only humans can say please,
blinded, we right our wrongs,
we've stolen what should be found,
mistaking horror for dreaming,

'so tell me...  was the ivory worth killing me?'
It seems a bit cryptic... but its about the slaughters for ivory,




    -Ivory hunters kill over 10.000 elephants/rhino's a year.
     And for what? souvenirs? piano-keys? it's useless massacre

The inspiration behind this is of course very important! The world is about to lose these incredible creatures if we aren't careful. However, I feel that there is a lot of versatility to this poem we well. I get the feeling of an overall loss of something-anything! Precious species, or a personal passion, anything! I love it!
