A VILLAGE ROAD SHOW

Picture a dusty village road Where two stubborn goats One older full of pride Another younger and very agile Face each other on a narrow bridge Neither want to back down They lock horns in front of the whole village Each claiming the right of way On the edges, villager elders watched on Placing bets on who fights better Turning merchants for their goods Whilst the drums of propaganda beats on. But the bridge thin and weary from the weight begins to crack beneath their show down and when it breaks won’t the whole village bleed from the fall?
