Paquidermo

My elephant thinks he's a human
walks on two legs and shakes hands
he dresses in a tie and suit
takes care of me when I'm sick
He runs, He jumps
He plays, He dances,
He eats
One day an elephant taught me
that no one owns anything
getting rid of the animal was our biggest mistake and
we completely lost the scent of love
We sold, We bought
We lied, We stole,
We killed...
It was hard to accept the situation,
as a child I learned it was the best
I grew up and believed that's how it was
Without knowing that my place is far from here
I don't believe in being able to change
turning man back into an animal
what's done is done
we can't go back
I'm sorry, we die!
There's nothing more loyal than friendship
that an animal has towards you
if it happens that you're not there
it will only feel like dying...
Why wait so long
for what I'm looking for to arrive
maybe it's not so easy
to think in color when the world
spins in a constant black and white
I don't know why I seek magic
in people who don't even
make the effort to believe in it.
