the life of an elephant

I wonder now, If the life of an elephant is worth less than the life of a man, Men are so vulgar, wicked and vicious, Men are so inhuman, poor country, Why shouldn’t an elephant be allowed to breathe? Allowed to live upright, to love the savannah? What happened to our past adventures? What happened to our deepest desires? The elephant is noble and valiant, courageous, The sun shines for him as much as for us, The elephant also knows that he is alive on this earth, Let him enjoy the view, the life, the day, his children, His soul is probably more beautiful than ours. Je me demande désormais, Si la vie d’un éléphant, vaut moins que la vie d’un homme, Les hommes sont si vulgaires, méchants et vicieux, Les hommes sont si inhumains, pauvre pays, Pourquoi un éléphant n’aurait-il pas le droit de respirer ? De vivre debout, d’aimer la savane ? Que sont devenues nos aventures passées ? Que sont devenus nos désirs profonds ? L’éléphant est noble et valeureux, courageux, Le soleil brille pour lui autant que pour nous, L’éléphant sait aussi qu’il est vivant sur cette terre, Laissons le profiter de la vue, de la vie, du jour, de ses e

So many magnificent creatures, that mankind is hell bent on annihilating from this earth. The elephant being the largest land animal, yet so easy to kill. Your poem should be used by Animal preservation Societies as a wake up call for Governments to do more to protect their countries wildlife and prosecute poachers more stringently. Well done Yann.

I love Elephants, they know the value of Life and they also know the disservice of evil. Pulling driwning oeople/animals free etc. I have also seen them exact retribution on evil. Animals are not screwing each other over for a coin. I think one of God's greatest blessings to the Earth, animals. Lovely poem
