When the crowers of today turn peckers at dawn
Feasting on feeds of hens and chicks
While time walks without turning back
Their future in saucepans of history will be painful
As the only spices on their bodies would be pepper of frustration
Ginger of hurts
Salt of under development
Tears of penury
And cubes of curses
Let earful cocks clean their ears
As they stand on pedestals of high repute
In their youthful dawn
And heed to the call of change
