Once in the land of the wild
God staged a judgement in the mild
He called king lion
Who sought to sing to enter Zion
But sang the song of the murderous
The crowd cheered in happiness
Their terrorist has been fairly judged by His Holiness
They sang and praised
God’s name was raised
Until he asked for the judgment to continue
He called the beautiful peacock
Who smiled and hissed at the cock
She sexily walked and sexily talked
But ended in the books of the locked
For priding in beauty given
The crowd cheered minus the lion and her
The many boos was difficult for them to bear
Until God called the pious looking cat
Who went to sit on the judgment mat
He stole God’s meat and was immediately caught
Many cheered
Minus Lion, Peacock and cat who had erred
And so it went
Every animal was burnt
Until all was judged
At the end of trial
God became the villain of His own trial
All the animals who tried to his better judgment woo
Became the ones whose voices were heard in the loudest boo
Like the perishables, we all hide our dirt under our cover-cloths
