Big, bold, beautiful not
Elegance, life is all froth
Size, a detriment to my beauty
The so called, unlucky

My nose, unknown
My mouth, still a theory
My face, likened to a food tray
And ears, a handfan

A stride of mine could pound the earth
Yet I am less important than the cattle
Big enough to carry loads
They chose the camel over me

Banished away from human habitation
Sent into the wilds
Where I am feared by few
Even a little mouse terrifies me

Yet humans run away
Whenever they come my way
Left alone, in this dark world
To shed blood, my resolve
My name, a word for insult
Called with brutality, to insult another
