Ask a Chicken
Want to understand Death?
ask a chicken that awaits its turn
in a cage, to be beheaded
While it waits in cage
hand of death enters many a times
each time picking up one for a kill
Death, moment by moment
it witnesses and feels
Knife, Chopping block always in eye sight
Want to understand Death?
see a chicken while being cut
in a moment, life chopped into recipe pieces
