Kaavan

Suddenly I am famous
The worlds cameras are on me
Even Cher came by to help
And animal rights all be
Into really helping
Signing petitions
For they care
And stuck in Pakistan
It was dank and dirty
To be aware
Of how i felt for all these years
Neglected deep inside
Every day is just the same
My time I have to bide
And then a move is coming
The joy it fills my soul
I am going off to Cambodia
To fulfil a role
To meet up with some brothers
And sisters it will be
A beautiful experience
As some of you will see

So many days I cried
My heart out
The shed where I did stay
Was dank and dirty and
People cared a bit
But No one there to play
To meet up and talk old times
With other ele’s who
Need respect and friendship
Its what old elephants do

Flashbacks to the cruel times
The bull hooks and the pain
Walking on the hard ground
It just drives us insane
Really reminiscing
Prompting and suggesting
Recalling and reminding
How Captivity was so testing

Bygones we have many
As you know we don’t forget
Every word said out of place
At the time, we let
It go but don’t forget it
And you see
Being on our own a lot
We can cry alone and be

Lacking expectation
Unpredicted unforeseen
What a revelation
Life how it has been
People get frustrated
And take it out on us
We might be big and cumbersome
And unable to discuss
The inns and outs
And therefore
Get anxious and depressed
But now I am off to
A sanctuary
And I want you to know I feel blessed.
