“Obstacle In Our Path”
Elephants
Side to side
Side to side
Rhythmically rocking my enormous body and head
Side to side
Side to side
Like a pendulum my trunk swings side to side
I'm only doing this because I'm bored
~
My family and I walk for miles and miles
Foraging,
Dusting,
Mud wallowing,
Swimming and socializing
~
We encounter an obstacle in our path
Humans have built a fence and block our path
Evidently they forgot that we never forget the path we always take?
~
I tense my enormous frame
Flare my ears and with a
Trump of rage
I gather my herd and together we work and push the fence down
To clear our path
~
Side to side
Side to side
We walk across and melt into the bush
