Thinking About Bipolar Rage After Watching “Angry Elephants Attack Animals, Wildly and Savagely Taking Over” on YouTube

Lost temper
Found rage
Usually lumbering, heavy
Suddenly, active
On attack
Impossible to stop
Tossing off any
Inept attempts
To restrain, to calm

Like elephants
I never forget
It's all right there
Top of my mind
At the ready
To be triggered
Underdog activated
Ears flapping
Hearing everything
Waving like wings

Determined
Pity the fool
In the wrong place
At the wrong time

Intelligent, ruthless
The whole neighborhood
Trembles in fear
I'm taking long strides
Dominating the sidewalk
Traipsing the jungle
Get out of the way
Or be trampled
Elephants don't like wild dogs

Territorial
Scaring trespassers away

Enraged mama elephant
Protecting her babies
A justified rage
A righteous anger

Die, dogs, die
