How to break a babies spirit
what a demented view
but in Thailand its the norm alas
its what some people do
take a baby elephant
from its parents, who
would have taught it
much respect and love
its what they do
but the people are low gutter types
they will never see
the price
that elephant parents do invest
and try to be
giving them such knowledge
explaining so much and
preparing them for dealing
with the massive human band
the babies they are caged
and beaten hell knows no fury, they
realise the agony
is coming now each day
all the woeful torture
every conceivable way
of hurting and of making
the little ele pay
only when the will is gone
and submissive they become
will they be left to
recover
and by that time they are numb
to what has gone before them
their future in their heart
now broken like some ragged doll
and tossed onto some cart
the ele won’t forget though
and they will pine away
hopeful that they get the chance
of freedom too one day
but of course it never happens
in Thailand your a slave
no matter what’s locked in your thoughts
to them you are a knave
you will be worked to death
for sure
freedom no not you
you have been broken
yes they have spoken
and you do what they want you to
