I saw this elephant in Hampi - and as we travelled around I saw many elephants in temples always with the same fiercely mixed reaction.

the temple elephants’ trauma
is in their rocking
the shackles at their feet
clinking their captivity
but I rejoice seeing
painted elephants
mandalas on their
foreheads and trunks
and I am in despair
picking at my conscience
like an over ripe pimple
and at my own hypocrisy
Interesting image and Interesting Post. Greetings from creativity and imagination photos of Jose Ramon
