Legacy

The stories I could tell you
The tales of my kind
You don't have to reach
Too far into history to find
Why our hope is too far gone;
My legacy never to continue on,
Your eyes opened too late
And now I lie
In white ashes:
Never to rise again.

In memory of Sudan, the last male White Rhino to ever walk this Earth.
