In the town I heard
a new fashion is the trend
of walking upside down
stamping everything you find
and looking fierce and fiery
snapping at all
barking even
spite flowing free
under the pretext of
politics or faith or food even
when in times hands
we are all but her children
in a continuum of past, present and future
yet how we blight ourselves to stupidities
is beyond me.
Time: oh! chill. All I need to do is snap half a finger!
Last time I heard the crow was not talking to the cuckoo
so was the crocodile to the fish
the orangutan to the ape
and the ape to the monkey
grasshopper hated the very grass
the honeybees hated flowers
the sun hated the clouds
and the waters spite the land
the worms spoke ill of the insects
and the crickets of the toads
the peacocks had issues with peahens
and the foxes with the lions
the elephants found the rabbits irritating
and squirrels complained of the cats
not to talk of the whales who hated waters deep blue
and wished to walk on earth
things have come to such a pass
that I got to kick some ass!
