Njeri Hunjeri Poet Rhyme

When Elephants Fight

When elephants fight

The air fills with dust......cannot see

The air fills with dust......cannot breathe

The ground trembles......under the feet

The ground vibrates further......for all to feel

The wounds dig deep......may never heal

The wounds dig deep......may never stop to bleed

When elephants fight, tears may flow the whole night

Richard Lamoureux July 26, 2015 at 9:04 AM This is sad and it is a good metaphor for waring countries. Why is man so prone to fighting??? Njeri Hunjeri July 26, 2015 at 9:12 AM I think we as humans are so prone to fighting coz of qualities like competition, wanting to be in charge,jealousy, selfishness etc. And i think also coz we think we are different and we strive hard to Show the difference. Thanks Rick and happy Sunday
