I heard a story
Some time ago
Of an Elephant
Powerful and Wise
And a String
Thin as a hair
But the Elephant
Was not always Powerful
Nor Wise
And the String had begun
As an Iron Chain
From birth the Elephant
Strained and struggled
Against the Iron Chain
But always failed
To be free of it
Then came the day
The Elephant gave up
And tried no more
Not long after
The Iron Chain
Shriveled into String
And til this day
That Elephant
Who grew to be Powerful
And Wise
Is held back
By a frail and weak
Piece of String
