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.
