When the domestic fowl
calls for a fight with the guinea fowl
in the full glare of all eyes,
none must interfere
because fairness count’s in win
II
We live, love, work in all view
we each have mouths, to talk
hands to wave
legs to walk
what else is there?
coverings in clothes don’t matter
when freedom fights begin
III
Let us not be ostriches
always adjusting
when the cockrel is favoured
a time will come
when the guinea fowls will be lost
and cock huntresses would be tasked
with searching for them
in the scary forest
