This is a dedication to the pregnant elephant that fell victim to human cruelty
The one you silenced
has come to speak
from the Silent Valley National Park
A trusting soul
searching for food
not for me, for my baby
you fed me a spiky fruit
cracker laden
how human?
even in agonizing pain
standing in the Veliyar river
I did no harm
I wept in the waters, where
I once bathed in happiness
I left my last breath on land, where
I bathed in bloodiness
I am just an innocent
Asking for justice
Can you be my voice ?

This is great one indeed! It's often said,"Behave like humans! Or Stop behaving like animals!" But sometimes human behaviour gets so cruel and destructive!
Some times I just feel so ashamed of being called a human..!
Wow. Just wow. We humans are the worst. Beautiful dedication ma'am.
Saddens me to even read about the horrific incident. Nicely composed👍
