In awe
\nWe ought to be
\nReally we should
\nThe biggest land animal
\nReally it could
\nRealize so much
\nWithin its sphere
\nWith 300 billion neurons
\nIts clear<\/p>\n
Compared to us humans
\nRulers of earth
\nWith massive ego’s
\nSome with equal girth
\nwe have 90 billion
\nUndeniably
\nAnd for the most part
\nFew of us are free<\/p>\n
To tread the great plains
\nThat our ancestors trod
\nTo find water and minerals
\nClose to our god
\nTo contend with the habitat
\nStolen away
\nAnd to fight off the poachers
\nWho do make us pay<\/p>\n
A very high price
\nFor the tusks they possess
\nDespite our neurons
\nTheir conflict and stress
\nIs made all the more
\nBy our greed and desire
\nBy our open mouthed unsated
\nAnd famished fire<\/p>\n
To steal and to sell off the spoils
\nAnd to be
\nRicher for selling the tusks rapidly
\nThe elephants neurons tasked specifically
\nTo aspire to the thought
\nThat they ought to be free
\nThey ought to be able
\nTo live peacefully
\nBut their size and great appetite
\nRuins the plan
\nAnd they are at odds
\nWith the nature of man<\/p>\n
Man’s 90 billion
\nWill never it seems
\nWork out the elephants
\nTruest of dreams
\nTo live in the \u0175ilds
\nTo be so wholly free
\nWill never happen
\nCan never be<\/p>\n
Its the zoo
\nIts more profit
\nThats how it goes
\nAnd the elephant probably
\nKnows<\/p>\n
Thats why they are sad
\nWith the tragic malaise
\nAnd must live out their lives
\nCompromised all their days
\nSome see the tears
\nFeel the grief
\nKnow their pain
\nAnd know why some will
\nEffectively soon go insane<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
