Siblings stolen
Why list the nations ills ...
Bring Chicken Little home

Kuiken has cage during light
Twilight cheeps, louder -- plaintive --
Back in box, quietest baby
oh, this grinding surge
roaring into battle,
how the air is filled
with the sabre rattle;
how the sky is blacked
by fires in their burning,
how the townships sacked
by counter-strikes returning;
how the guns and shells
through the air are streaming,
how the tolling bells
bleed into the screaming;
oh, the fight for land,
conflicts over chattel,
how the days are spent
in slaughtering the cattle.
Listen to poem:
Eastern townships
Land of settlers
A blur across centuries
The land my father loved
Land of my ancestors
Miles of nostalgia
Farmland at rest
Barns with cows and horses
Hills and valleys stretching for miles
Music to my heart
