Elephant

In the heart of Africa, where wild beasts roam,

Stands a gentle giant, majestic and known.

With grace and strength, a creature so grand,

The mighty elephant, ruler of the land.

Oh, elephant, with your ivory tusks,

Through the dense jungle, you gracefully thrust.

Your massive frame, a sight to behold,

As you navigate the wilderness, fearless and bold.

With each step you take, the earth trembles below,

Leaving footprints in the sand wherever you go.

A symbol of wisdom, revered through the years,

Your presence brings solace, dispelling all fears.

Your ears, like sails, flap in the breeze,

Capturing whispers of secrets, carried with ease.

Your trunk, a versatile tool, so vast,

Gathering food and water, a lifeline that lasts.

Oh, elephant, your family is strong,

In a tight-knit herd, where bonds belong.

Caring for young ones, with love and devotion,

Teaching them the ways of the wild, a lifelong lesson.

Yet, in the face of danger, your courage prevails,

Protecting your kin, your strength never fails.

Against poachers and threats, you bravely fight,

A warrior of nature, shining in the light.

But alas, the world is not always kind,

For greed and ignorance cloud the human mind.

Your ivory prized, a cruel desire,

Leaving you vulnerable, facing a dire fire.

So let us stand united, hand in hand,

To protect the elephants, across the land.

For they are the guardians, of nature's grace,

A symbol of harmony, we must embrace.

Oh, elephant, may your presence endure,

In the vast savannahs, forever pure.

May your gentle spirit forever roam,

In the heart of Africa, your eternal home.
