The Animal Speaks.

I remember my childhood as an elephant My parents guided me to to the inner forest They taught me to swim in nearest river They loved me even while when I behaved crazy I remember the fellow animals looked on me With kindness, love, affection and pride I remember the earlier days of my gradual growth My little tusks, my body, my image in water The forest was my dwelling place, as I thought One day I tricked to fell in a pit humans made They caught me in captivity, and I cried so much They trained me, torturing my body and mind They taught me to abide their rules of acts I followed them and their instructions helplessly Now the life is so terrible, in this summer days So helpless, nothinghelps or soothes my woes Hoping for the worst to come to my life.
