The Elephant Whisperer
the elephants of south africa
were systematically being slaughtered
seemed they wandered tloo far into civilization
and met head on with the devils daughter
to stop the massacre, the powers that be
set up an elephant reservatiom with huge fences
barbed wire to keep them out of harms way
but the elephants thought any restrictions
on their freedom was just plain senseless
the elephants used their tusks, to snap the barbed
wire, and sure enough their escape let to their death
concerned villiagers knew only one man could
save the elephants, and that was Larwence Anthony
the elephant whisperer
When Lawrence arrived the elephants, were lined
up at a fence, to make a fatal escape attempt
Lawrence looked straingt into "Nana's eyes, who was with her new born baby girl, and said Nana, if you
and all your elephants are triumphant, it will surely
be the end of your herd, your family as you know it, one by one you will succumb until in the end you are none. Nana reared her massive head readying for a charge, when in an instant she changed her mind and turned and led the herd away from danger. Lawrence knew the elephants would return, the fire in their hearts, that needs to be free at any cost, would not extinguish itself so easily.
Lawrence thought to himself, what to do, when he decided the only way for the elephants to stay on the reserve, is if he would pull up a tent and live amongst the magnificent beasts, and that he did, until he was convinced that the herd understood, that life on the reservation was a far cry better than death in the wild.
talk about far cries, when Lawrence was on his death bed, some twelve hours from where the Elephants dwell, through the jungle you could hear them marching, thundering through the woods, to set up vigil for the man who saved their lives. The remarkable thing is they left the reservation before Lawrence died, could the elephants sense his spirit leaving his soul, and climbing towards the heavens, my best guess, is the answer to that question is yes!
