the chicken


The chicken runs
When it finds its freedom
Releasing from its cage
It flaps its wings

Under the bush
It puffs heavily
“Man what a fright!
The old man with his knife”

Eyes looking around
Feathers rising and falling
Peeping through the bushes
“Am I free now?”

The myna bird flies in
Look at the chicken...
“Hey you! It's chicken feed
You run away?”

“What you know?
Nobody wants you
I am the chicken
The old man wants me”

“Look behind you
What you see?”
“Oh my god!
It's a snake!”

“I tell you
It's chicken feed
Your kind has no freedom
You will be somebody's food”
