#(32)Born Free
*****************
The first light revealed to his eyes,
Was from rising sun of the forest,
He inhaled the first wild fragrance,
In lap of mother nature,he was guest.
That baby elephant was born free,
Dense forest was his play-ground,
Protected by his group and kins,
He freely wandered all-around.
Once, was caught in man-made trap,
As his fate was written on black stone,
A few trained elephants came there,
They pushed him to the near-by town.
He faced starvation for some days,
Was punished,was tied with chains,
Was taught,forced to obey commands,
He fought with all sufferings and pains.
Behind wooden-bars.he learnt three lessons,
-Earth awards freedom;and world? Slavery.
Elephant is the biggest enemy of elephant.
Death is the ultimate,easy path, to be free.
After his training,he will be grand elephant,
He may be covered with gold, in temples,
May be a decoration piece,for high ranks,
May transport huge logs, with trunk- skills.
He may be termed as biggest grand animal,
Only,he has to surrender his strength,and brain,
Only emotions,his thoughts-rest doing nothing,
Till death,only to put on, an invisible tight chain.
