A Chicken Wing

tells no lies

it speaks of truth

that humans hide —

the chicken crossed the road you see,

it gave us hope, to set us free.

the human decided to take its life,

ripped it to pieces with an ancient knife.

the chicken became a symbol of kind

more importantly, lost his mind.

the human embraced the power within

and stole the life of the chick’s kin.

The moral here, if you can see

keep walking forward for you and me.

RUN from the haters, stand tall for yourself,

let your voice speak for itself.

the troubles and toxins in life exist,

resist the limitations move on with a twist.

some of us still see the need for love and care,

navigate the obstacles, be sure to beware.

Stay the course, my friend and you will see

four years fly by like the bird and the bee.
