Elephants in a tender embrace <br />Thoughts about the wild hills <br />That overlook the sunny plains. <br /> <br /> <br />'What land! ' they say <br />'How beautiful it is <br />Now that the world of mankind <br />Has gone away forever <br />To live under the ground <br />Afraid of the white sky! ' <br /> <br /> <br />The elephants roam the world of land <br />Whilst below, <br />Men bite each other in half <br />In a kind of macabre joke.<br /><br />Jacques du Lumerie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/elephants-in-a-tender-embrace/
