When an animal is about to die
Its voice is heard in many a cry
…with words chanting lies, deciet
…and hoaxes after being decapitated by defeat
II
When a chicken is about to die
It flies here and there
Crying “It’s a lie! It’s a lie!”
Shouting how unfair
III
When an animal is about to die
Many others will hear of it
But even previous cowards with sigh
…after losing their fears of it
IV
So if you thought yourself an hawk
Dear D. T. Red, look into the mirror
And see the many chickens waiting to stock
…your carcass in horror
V
You can work your weight to fall
…in an unknown bush
Where your stench will only call
…on vultures to push
…you into rot
VI
Time really upsets myths parading
…as realities
Delighting scientists working
…with knowing niceties
