Crow of a Headless Rooster

A Poem by Denny Moonde 

Am a bird, flightless.

Caught up in a life ruthless

Another year of madness

My thoughts stained

Am headless, the pain no less.

I complain no one listens.

My silent nature yokes

The violent feelings

Waiting to be unleashed,

Un-policed mind on a free-way

Lee-way.

Life free falling, tree falling!

Dry walls of my house

Absorb my cries in their cracks.

Nightmare the endless tossing

No meals for the family

Crow of a headless Rooster

Running, crying, headless.

Rain drenched chicken.

Hen, with chicks in check

Pecking on empty ground

Serendipity? Serenity? Insanity!

Am news that sells.

Deprived, malnourished.

Pa-zed Iliko bad.

My fall will be at a price

Weakened tortured soul,

Wise up, I rise; headless

Myself belief, not a hopeless place

In reverse my face a farce

To the jubilation and elation

I once bestowed on your pre-eminency

Humiliation awaits.

My potency for dependency

Is in essence a nuisance

to the fabric of innocence

for economic independence.
