Death of an Elephant.. Apu Mondal

One death of a dear one
Is so hurtful to mourn
We accept the sad state
Hoping to even the fate
What about an elephant
A good man won't touch an ant
Those trusting eyes, hunger
Accepted the mischief monger
To be a charitable man
Alas, all proved vain
She ate a poisoned fruit
Filled with explosive by the brute
And with agonizing pain
Went to look for food again
Overbearing pain made her
Immerse herself in water
Until her last breath tried
To comfort her baby inside.
