This is a well-written pantoum that talks about tourist's demeaning elephants as they ride them for their pleasure. These lumbering pachyderms sway side-to-side carrying their hedonistic burdens. I like how you summed it all up in the last stanza:

"
Ganesh the god must shed a tear
The elephant sways side to side
Her wistful eye so full of fear
At what dire cost our tourist ride."

Your pantoum is very well ordered and constructed to show the message in an effective way. This is a great topic full of emotion, questions and narrative strength.
