While the rest (elephants) left me here-
I sneaked in by crossing that fence!
I broke that door and entered in-
For the smell- of fruits and grains-
That farmer hides behind the hut-
In an utter dismay and fear!
While the rest (humans), away from here!
Talk so big! Plea us to co-exist!
And they know no fear-
Of their sweat being 'raid'*!
Of what it means to be chased!
Or, hitting the train and being dead!
Every night- I write my fate!
As I silently cross that gate!"
