I am the elephant
I am sovereign
I will trample all people
I am the bully
I am sovereign
I will spit on the faces of people
Who are these others
To talk of law, to talk of democracy
I am sovereign
What I do
Is no one else’s business
If people go hungry
What do I care
I have powers
That are rare
I am sovereign, so I am.
