The elephant

The elephant
 

The elephant walked the streets
And they all looked at him with disdain
Where is this elephant going?
They asked each other
As if the elephant were a hideous creature
Damn elephant !!
People shouted, outraged
Bothered by your presence
Frightened, the elephant tightened his pace.
He stared with tears in his eyes.
And he only saw hatred in the eyes of those people
Why do they look at me like that? He thought
What did I do wrong?
Am I so different from them?
The elephant followed
Without understanding the reason
Of all that hate
Where he passed
People were walking away.
And they offended
With heavy words
Anguish has been taking
Your chest
Making him slow down
He then looked back
As in a last
Pulse of hope
And not seeing anything
Beyond evil
Closed the eyes
And he threw himself in the front
From the first truck that
was passing the road
Everyone was outraged
With the elephant
Some people
They approached to
See the immense corpse
Extirpated on the floor
Suddenly
A large number of people formed around the elephant
A priest made the sign of the cross
A lawyer loosened the knot of the tie
And a little boy pointing to the elephant's head, which was open on the ground, said:
"Look, Mom, how big his brain was!"
