The Rooster Crows At Noon and Other Things Out of Whack

Cackling old hens posing as journalists-
thinking themselves angles of light,
lay poisonous eggs filled with lies 
and gestating hate-
riling against common sense,
and the rooster crows at noon.

Idiots, entrusted with government
destroy our country and way of life-
while the majority just watch 
as the little foxes spoil the grapes-
and the rooster crows at noon.

Tax payers labor in the fields 
and are penalized for success-
while  pompous boars in congress,
slopping at the public trough,
grow fatter on vile swill-
and the rooster crows at noon.

Cats play games with mice
then kill for fun-
our youth play violent
videogames-
and the rooster crows at noon.
