The name suggests a friendly<\/p>\n
caring orphanage<\/p>\n
a place where elephants<\/p>\n
Find \u00a0love and care<\/p>\n
The brutal truth is in variance<\/p>\n
to living there<\/p>\n
Sri Lanka<\/p>\n
I question the real welfare<\/p>\n
Elephants are very social \u00a0animals<\/p>\n
family is what they are \u00a0all about h<\/p>\n
Therefore \u00a0we see an orphanage for many elephants<\/p>\n
caught up in \u00a0habitat loss where there is doubt<\/p>\n
and animals are suffering from losing out on care<\/p>\n
chained up<\/p>\n
stuck on concrete<\/p>\n
and many are unaware<\/p>\n
the detriment this causes<\/p>\n
to foot problems galore<\/p>\n
the philosophy in essence<\/p>\n
Is one \u00a0of feeling sore<\/p>\n
Its a zoo in fact \u00a0 a prison camp<\/p>\n
And victims they become<\/p>\n
really for entertainment purposes<\/p>\n
so really some<\/p>\n
are farmed out or are thus observed<\/p>\n
there \u00a0is nothing wild about them<\/p>\n
most are left unnerved<\/p>\n
dispirited and doleful<\/p>\n
chain scars on their legs<\/p>\n
A wretchedness about them<\/p>\n
treated as if dregs<\/p>\n
many heavy – hearted<\/p>\n
woebegone they be<\/p>\n
languishing in loneliness<\/p>\n
in their own gravity<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
blubbering and whimpering<\/p>\n
They suffer and deplore<\/p>\n
bemoaning their lack of care<\/p>\n
which the visitors do ignore<\/p>\n
in many cases vulgar<\/p>\n
their inactivity<\/p>\n
creates a vile miasma<\/p>\n
their leaden insipid plea<\/p>\n
is its soulless and unvarying<\/p>\n
just monotony<\/p>\n
no way to treat these glorious beasts<\/p>\n
to perpetual adversity.<\/p>\n
