Elephantine

In an uncouth world that is a lacklustre gray

I ask that you listen, I have something to say

I could tell you its maniacal, where I have been

Or I could just say, it’s elephantine

I have changed, no doubt, with what I’ve endured

My body’s still broken but my Soul has been cured

It’s like I hold a secret that is beyond all thought

That can never be taken and it can never be bought

I could tell you it’s stupendous, what I have seen

Or I could just say, it’s elephantine

We live in a time that is fast and unkind

Surging ahead with no hope of rewind

We need to slow down. We need to be still

Take time to reflect and spread some good will

I could tell you that’s expected, where Souls will gleen

Or I could just say, it’s elephantine

I can’t hold my tongue, I must confess

Not all will survive, past this first dress

Some have wrongdoings that are beyond repair

And will disappear into nothingness... the unaware

I could tell you it’s ghastly... it’s beyond demean

Or I could just say, it’s elephantine

However, with all that said (and believe me there’s more)

Just sort yourself out and settle your score

My advice to you is to Do Good, Love Well and Live

And always, always, always forgive.

Then you might earn a ticket to this place unseen

And I’ll guarantee this...

It’s elephantine
