Elephant day silence <br />Silence green <br />Silence hidden <br />Behind tears <br />Of dust <br />Dust ascending <br />Into a heaven <br />Of excuses <br />While the wheels <br />Of civilisation <br />Take ever more <br />The lifeblood <br />Of the King <br />And shoot the past <br />In fast-buck form <br />Lying, <br />Dying, <br />extinct<br /><br />Terry Donovan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/elephant-day/
