There's more than just size to the elephant,
they do do some things that the others can't.
Many stories show these acts as valiant;
in the wild, grand gestures seem elegant.
Their wisdom is "ear-ily" evident,
nothing too pithy or given to rant -
like wry witticisms from Oscar Levant.
Or, Ogden Nash whose stanzas are extant,
not the rhymes of some silly sycophant.
Pachyderms make empathy "rel-e-phant"!

Malicious Intent >
Reclusive con Artists, who appear to take no rest
ProwLing through codes
Crushing anyone who'd dare contest
This is perfection, I suppose
The consistently coherent cooperation betWeen mAn and machine
An artificial understanding - an accomplice unknown
They relY on evasion, but program to attack
PerhapS a grand scale heist - performed silently
Under the unforgiving blackened hat
Uniting against titans
As "We Are The law!"
Should you ever Cross tHem, your world wIll fall
Those devious codes
Adware, malware, and raNsomware
Will drown your screen in red
Imagine them as insects
LeachinG, vampiric
Dripping blood of a familiar crimson red
Under the radar they go
Remorselessly busting locks
Corrupting, decrypting - accessing your data vault
No time to react - it’s all over in a flash
You will relinquish control, and surrender to our clicks
We do not forgive
We do not forget

The Psychic Raven
(Inspired from E.A.
Poe- The Raven)
The red hawk stares across the prairie wide
The eagle glides over all that he is lord
A lonesome vulture sails above a mountainside
And the psychic raven whispers
evermore
The red fox hunts throughout a charcoal night
The raccoon searches on the river shore
A wary rabbit keeps his castle den in sight
And the psychic raven whispers
evermore
The bobcat prowls around a woodland pond
The beaver hides behind his oaken door
Fireflies pulsate like a magic wand
And the psychic raven whispers
evermore
Pick-rel lurk among the water grass
Bullheads patrol the muddy floor
Minnows lie to hide their silver mass
And the psychic raven whispers
evermore
Stones are served to famished border towns
Prelude to an ever-forming war
Rebellion brings another cap-tal down
And the psychic raven whispers
evermore

Skeleton, Skeleton, Skeleton, Skeleton, Skeleton
Closets ablaze, melt my past reality. Lets push the
boundaries to what is real and not rel for this clan
you see.
Let's get over all that doesn't last cause the present moment
has come and gone. No more skeletons shout to death all that's
been never dying and leaves many lliving shamed.
And I want skeletons no more in that big, tall amoire with a skeleton
head on the shelf. My mind lives in its head no more. We're no longer
haunted as extermination of our past memories blew up in smoke.
Skeleton, Skeleton, Skeleton, Skeleton, Skeleton
Melt my past reality. Lets push the boundaries on what's real and not
real for this clan you see. There are no longer scary hellos from our past
or do not enters that do not last.
