White Elephant

Rating: 5.0


White elephant, white elephant,
Tell the name of your master if you can!
I know white elephant you are everywhere,
I know you are putting your signature
in everything and still you are saved.

White elephant, white elephant,
You are really cool, as you know
nothing is a loss to you, in either side
you always looks bright, that means
You have no dark side.

What for, white elephant, I want to know
You are not taking any interest for
all out development of all and you are
feeling insulted for not able to do good
to others except fulfilling your self-interest.

White elephant, white elephant,
Come on please and be active for public interest.
If you failed I am sure you would be sacked
from elephant-ship and dumped down on the ground,
They are there the tiger and the hound.
