“Elephant No Small”
Elephant no small - e big like land,
E waka slow, but e foot no dey shake for sand.
E ear wide like two palm tree leaf,
E sabi hear far - even whisper of grief.
E get long trunk wey dey act like hand,
E take am carry water, greet, or stand.
E no dey shout, but e presence loud,
When elephant pass, silence dey proud.
E memory sharp, e no dey forget,
If you do am well - e go show you respect.
But if you cross line - e fit vex true,
E go wait, e go plan, then e go face you.
Dem live like family - tight and wise,
Dem mourn like human when elephant dies.
No be just beast - na walking proof,
Say strength fit quiet, and truth no need proof.
