In animals rights terms this could
\nbe one of the worst I’ve heard
\nand its carried out on infants
\nof the breed
\nwhich seems absurd<\/p>\n
what occurs is capture
\nthen caged tightly
\ntheir legs tied
\nand then chained to the ground
\nand fixed there in one spot
\nwe really have to wonder why
\nthese baby elephants
\ntheir hearts abound<\/p>\n
with lovely tender thoughts
\nand wild ambition
\ntorn from their mothers
\nand now holed up here
\nstuck fast they are unable to really move
\nat all
\nthat’s when a so called spiritual man
\nsuddenly does appear
\nl
\npositioning himself upon its back
\nalmost as if to ride
\nand in that moment drives
\na steel spoke right down deep inside
\nthe elephants head
\nimagine that
\nthe pain and the surprise
\nthat such an act
\ncan you imagine that
\nit kind of flies<\/p>\n
in the face of everything
\na spiritual man might do
\nits then that tears leak from its heart
\nand it begins to rue
\nthe day it ever came to be
\nfor couldn’t it have been allowed
\nto perhaps just be a spirit
\nin some place where it lay showered<\/p>\n
in moon dust or in pollen grains
\nand quietly spend its hours
\npeacefully resting in some hollow
\nin amongst the flowers
\ninstead it has been drawn into this
\nmaelstrom of a place
\nthe spiritual man is praying
\nisn’t he a disgrace<\/p>\n
a sycophantic ass hole
\nwhose heart is clogged and hard
\nwho hides behind a mask of hatred
\nalways on his guard
\n“if you cease your rantings
\nif you quieten down
\nthen your pain it will subside
\nand you can wear our crown”<\/p>\n
remember this frightened animal
\nhas a steel spoke in his head
\nthe pain is worse than terrible
\nhis eyes are burning red
\nhis spirit wants to show
\nhis captors he will not just lay
\ndown and be so tortured
\nfoir it is not his way<\/p>\n
without a fight and so
\nfor 3 to 6 days various
\npeople hammer nails into
\nvarious parts of his body
\nits what the cold hearts do
\nits evil, its reprehensible
\nand yet of course its true
\nthe torture goes on tragically
\nwith no let up what they try
\nto do is break the spirit
\nof every little guy<\/p>\n
the torment so apparent
\nno infant should ever bear
\nthis kind of vile behaviour
\nfrom those clearly so aware
\nPhajaan continues
\nthat’s when villagers
\njoin the affray
\nthrowing stones
\nthat bruise and cut
\nand tear his strength away<\/p>\n
and then they raise the bar a bit
\nno water and no food
\nand then they don’t allow him sleep
\nit is so very crude
\nthat is when he comes to terms
\nwith how they treat him
\nand how he feels
\nhe screams up to the heavens
\nhe trumpets, he appeals<\/p>\n
to every wild soul everywhere
\nthe wind carries his cries
\nhoping to reach his mother
\nacross the many skies
\nthe villagers come and laugh and jeer
\nsome spit on him and he
\nfeels as if he’s nothing
\nshort of perhaps a memory<\/p>\n
he shakes, his body weakening
\nthe terror setting in
\nuncontrollable bouts of diarrhoea
\nstain his aching skin
\nin his own blood and excrement
\nbroken now he stands
\nmany die before this stage
\nbut he has other plans<\/p>\n
his spirit has been broken
\nsubmissive may be so
\nbut his memory is always there
\nand that will never go
\nhe identifies his torturers
\nhe can now recognize
\nand will possibly repay them
\nand help them to realise<\/p>\n
to suffer for their folly
\nthere’s a price they have to pay.
\nkarma is a penalty
\nthat does not go away<\/p>\n
Thailand and its people
\nhave to understand that they
\nhave no right to use cruelty
\njust to get their way
\nthe wild one’s have their place
\nand shouldn’t ever face this wrath
\nthey were born to wander
\nand teach that was their path<\/p>\n
where creation left them
\nand so for man to do
\nwhat man has done to elephants
\nand others does accrue
\nkarma has been growing
\nand the interest rate is high
\nand for exacting so much agony
\nsome will have to die<\/p>\n
and die they will
\nand suffer, they will
\nfor mote it be
\nwhat we cause to happen
\nwe pay for, eventually<\/p>\n
the cruelty in the crudest form<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
