Elephant

Remember the homes?
Where the herds live
Echo chambers of symptoms
No fixed diagnostics

Never, don't you ever forget
That when you were a calf you were bit by dogs
And you came to admire them
And you've grovelled ever since
In circuses and zoos

You've removed your tusks
Squeezed your trunk till it bled
But when you're drawn and quartered
You'll be lеft to blind men

So never, don't you еver forget
When you're talking up and down
In your tv accent
Speaking of your gold intent(ions)
That your dues have been counterfeit
And memory proves meaningless
As data protected, corrected, digested, inspected

You've lost
Your seismic sense
Detergent scrubbed away
Into cancerous resentment

So don't cry
Don't waste your breath
However many changes mark the passage of time
You were born with an elephant's head
And elephants don't forget
