Elephant

Forest is my home and it is my birth right to be free

I was captured with the help of my own kith and kin, what an irony

Only to be sold and enslaved for eternity therein

They first break me, by chaining my legs in solitude

I give in as soon as the chains tear into my skin

I am abused I am poked I am beaten I am kicked

Till I abide by all they say and bow down in defeat

Gentle Giant am rightfully called as I don’t fight back every time I am made to fall

They sit on me and force me to carry heavy baggage in the name of God

Until my backbone is sore and is no more

Man’s superstition and Ignorance has taken a heavy toll on me

For a token of money I am forced to bless their kin

What kind of God am I with my legs chained and my freedom contained?

Please let me FREE please let me Free

Will a God beg ever to be let free?

There is no end to a Man’s greed and it supersedes his every whim

I am the largest and powerful of all the land animals

Back home every animal feared and respected me

Yet here I am down on my knees begging and pleading

For the freedom that is rightfully mine so I can be me
