The Rooster Crows at Noon
Cackling old hens-
thinking themselves angles of light-
lay poisonous eggs filled with lies
and gestating hate-
riling against common sense
and the rooster crows at noon.
Perverts entrusted with youth
destroy their innocence-
while it is the little foxes
that spoil the grapes-
and the rooster crows at noon.
Workers labor in fields of plenty
yet go hungry-
while the pompous boars-
slopping at the trough-
grow fatter on vile swill-
and the rooster crows at noon.
Cats play games with mice
then kill for fun-
our youth play violent
videogames-
and the rooster crows at noon.
