Village Cock

I am the village rooster. One that crows in the city. They said I belong to the upcountry. Now the cities respect my name. They said I am a village fool. My reputation has gone afar. They sabotaged my education. Denying me government bursaries. They said I will not make it. Now a Doctor they call me. They said I'm a child of the lesser. But my God is not a lesser. The one who splashed dirty water on me. I lifted them this morning. The one who denied me water at their gates. I paid their dinner bill today Time is just a factor. Every roster shall crow. I am the village rooster. The one that crows in the city. @Tha Formidable Cheru. #themonk
