The tourist industry
\nHas much to answer for
\nElephants though huge
\nStill suffer so
\nRiding on their backs
\nIs far from prudent
\nThe anguish that they feel
\nI know you know<\/p>\n
Exhaustion stress and overwork
\nIs killing
\nAnd all around the world
\nElephants die
\nAt half their age
\nA rage
\nIn me
\nFor sadly
\nTrauma and isolation
\nWeighs upon their hearts
\nSo deaths are high<\/p>\n
Making money out of angst and suffering
\nAnd getting trip advisor on your case
\nClearly there is ignorance
\nand so much arrogance
\nIn reality,you need to face
\nThe truth about such tourism
\nIts most unkind of you
\nElephants have big feelings
\nApparently bigger than you<\/p>\n
Let tourists see tHe elephants
\nBut not ride them
\nThat smacks cruelty right from the start
\nIt disrespects the animals
\nEssentially it does
\nAnd leaves all of them
\nWith a broken heart<\/p>\n
Mitigate their stress levels
\nBy caring
\nTell the tourists no more rides
\nToday
\nThey can watch them bathing
\nOr feeding
\nBut riding on them takes their
\nJoy away<\/p>\n
Imagine how uninteresting for an pachyderm
\nUninspiring banal to a tee
\nHaving various foreigners sitting on ones back
\nSurely it is true monotony
\nI ask you from the bottom of my heart
\nToday
\nTo stop these elephant rides and be sincere
\nCare about your animals respect their every whim
\nAbusing them is wrong that much is clear<\/p>\n
