the naked chicken




borrowed zorrow-unmasked





Once the chicken with feathers
In the slaughtering house
Every feather was sucked out
Let the chicken naked on display

On the cold marble slabs
Eyes opened lives all gone
Displaying its nakedness
“Come humans take me away”

In the morning
The housewives and guys
Walking looking the naked chicken
Some hanging by hooks others cut to pieces

Laying bare on the cold marble slabs
The sacrifices to the humans
But the dignity left to be desired
Money exchanged chicken all gone

The living birds flapping wings
They saw their friends dumped in the big hole
The whirring sound of the machine.........
The birds knew they would be the end

Sacrifices for a good cause
They hoped the humans knew
Like some people they forgot
Tasted the flesh cursed the bones
