an elephant in the room

"There's an elephant in the room and we need to acknowldege it."

Indeed there is an elephant here,
and the elephant is mad, but my friend
you are only seeing the
elephant's toenail
and that toenail is playing you like a fiddle.

Know what you are doing please.
I pray.
I've seen others take on the cause of the "elephant"
and they got squashed!

Don't get squashed!
Instead, if you are so determinied
to dance with the mad elephant
then do what is necessary to help
the elephant get to a better place.

Amen.
