My name is not Cecil




My name is not Cecil
I do not have the luxury of a name or a fancy hashtag to morn my loss
I am seldom seen but often misunderstood
I am perfected by nature but destroyed by man

My name is not Cecil
But like him, I want nothing to do with you
I do not know you nor you know me
But yet you come to my home and brand me a "monster"
Out of misunderstanding and fear

My name is not Cecil
I am not even someone's trophy
I am murdered for nothing but the ignorant wrath of a man

My name is not Cecil
But like him, I have the right to live

My name is NOT Cecil
I am an old Tiger Shark and this is my planet too
