I've had just enough time to... dream of elephants.
Found this colourful elephant during one of my aimless wandering in Bangkok
I dreamt of elephants
One stood in my way
And would not budge
No matter how I pushed
And huffed and puffed
I used all my strength plus my will
But what is it to an elephant’s bulk
There are things that cannot be pushed
Like an elephant that refused to move
I walked to the elephant’s ear
Whispered into it earnestly
And saw its eyes blinked
It listened to the stories
Dredged from my belly
Pushed itself off the ground
And walked away just like that
I dreamt of elephants and learnt
The only way you can move an elephant
Is to move its heart

The Elephant Song - Kamahl
Tell me said the elephant
Tell me brothers if you can
Why all the world is full of creatures
Yet we grow in fear of man
Tell me said the elephant
tell me why this has to be
we have to run from man and hunter
never safe and never free
