War Elephant
What Happens Next?
Be it through intimidation or colonization, a bully or nation, over confident in their strength will try to impose their will, by show of force, on a "weaker" person or nation. However, no matter how powerful or technologically advanced a bully or nation can be, ingenuity and perseverance from the oppressed can often result in a David versus Goliath victory.
Your flagrant display of strength
so obviously exposes your weakness
you believe that only the strong survive
but the patient and clever see through your disguise
you underestimate the stature of your enemy
but size doesn't matter in the war of the flea
domestication impossible we will not accept defeat
because hearts proud and true will always be free
it's too late to transform arrowheads into lotus petals
like an enlightened
Grimilkhala
we're gonna charge forth together
like a war elephant
coil our trunks inward
with battering skulls and stabbing tusk
leaving all who intimidate and antagonize
trampled and flattened like the ruins of Ayutthaya
pushing a path through the impassable
like Hannibal crossing the Alps
even when wounded and all seems lost
a berzerker fighting spirit will possess us to go mast
