Lamenting Elephants

Do you hear me cry? 

Do you see the tears from my eye? 

I wanted a donation of some rye. 

But, I got your acts of sly. 

You enter my territory, 

Stock my foods in your inventory, 

Slay me for Ivory, 

Tame me for slavery. 

We are led by superior matriarchy, 

Unlike your chauvinistic patriarchy. 

We hold an efficient hierarchy, 

Unlike your democratic monarchy. 

You can scare us in many ways. 

To protect your agricultural bays. 

I can no more trust your hays, 

You made me sleep in my decays. 

                                               ~For a better future.
