No One to Help

There was an elephant
big and tall
despised by all
for he was mean.

Alone he roamed
through the woods
terror to all
shunned by all.

One day he fell into a ditch
no one came to help
weeks he cried
became weak
died in solitude.

No one lives
on an island alone
Live in such a way
that you have friends.
