Poem - Elephants
Stomping along the trail,
With riders and supplies on their backs
They carry, transport, and assist
Tribe members make the elephants rely upon them.
Up on their back legs
The animals follow the commands
Trainer whips his lead
Applause for the entertainment.
Behind bars and trapped
Elephants wander and live
Every so often people wave to them
They eat and sleep, eat and sleep, eat and sleep.
In a large vast space,
Roaming for miles and acres
Still in captivity
Seems like the wild
Using their trunks as defensive tools
To ward off an attacking cheetah,
These animals must fend off predators
And search for food themselves.
