When Elephants Cry

They used to master the road as means of transport for man They used to laugh and giggle as they nurture their young. But too soon their joy is aborted; Poor elephants hide from man as they are hunted as enemies- not for meat but for high profit! Their tusks are disengaged from their bodies, chiseled as dead art! Scared of their strength, poachers shoot them, and never leave them alive! The holy ground where elephants used to stroll around with their young ones is now turned to be a great anomaly of man! Here's the spot, the killing fields of our elephants! __________________ when the world celebrates World Elephant Day in August
