A New Dawn

A new day has arrived The sky, ripe enough to bring forth its shine Vegetations appearing greener than ever Swaying happily in anticipation of the sun rise The lingering dew of the cold night They rhythmically shake off Then the cock leaves its shelter The hen exits her brooding house With her chicks clustered around her Eat we must, die we mustn’t After all it’s the dawn of a new day Partly in appreciation of the new dawn The cock and family recite their daily prayers Anticipating their morning ration As they gather before the farmhouse door Loudly they chant now for food It’s the dawn of a new day
