It was in the midnight of the day, in the village
The people were so superstitious and depended in oracles
From the man who was designated by the village in devotion
He was in such intuitions often and sometimes in midnight
His sound was fearful, but we all suspected
Something unnatural is going to happen
The people from the huts and houses of the village
Gathered to hear the oracles from the person
Sometimes he predicted a big thunder and destruction
Sometimes some kind of infectious diseases to us in total
But another time there was a mysterious incident had occur
In the village middle of the paddy field they saw
A giant elephant lying in full form with snoring
No one was dared to approach the elephant in fear
It was told in serious illness and may die there
Destructing the water table by polluting from the fat
Only we can expect a miracle in such times of urgency
Some how someone called from the man an oracle
In perfect devotion of unnatural powers
He had a well sounded oracle and dared to go near
The elephant and had given heavy blows by his hand
Amazing all the elephant walked to the distant
And fell there in safer zone of our village
I know this is only a superstition of the time
But there is a philosophy of rescuing the people
From the conviction, courage and might of sounds
The oracle man saved the village who is no more.
