Elephants In Rooms

There’s an elephant in the room
It doesn’t want to be here
It’s getting scared and angry
It’s shitting violently
It’s swinging its trunk
There goes the buffet
It’s so loud
My ears are bleeding
It might kill us all
And you’re trying to pretend it doesn’t exist

Elephants don’t want to be in rooms, some of them can’t stand the existence of buildings period, so why doesn’t the metaphor reflect that?

Why do so many people think they can live with that elephant in the room?

Why do they think ignoring it will have an acceptable or even survivable outcome?

You can’t solve a problem until you acknowledge it in the first place.

I’ve never been capable of ignoring elephants in rooms.

I can’t keep quiet about it.
