Published by Famous Poets Society It is an allegory of what happens to humans as well as animals



                        THE  SMALLEST  CHICKEN

He was the smallest chicken
in the hen house
and he is singing the hen house blues

Why was it so
on this day in May?
He had lost his best friend
to the hatchet man as he lay

So he went on his way
just singing the blues
The poor bird was sad
but he was not mad

For he knew it was the way
of the world
Some would be hurled
into the great beyond
and some would be left behind

A good lesson and homily on real life, we all serve a purpose and all we can do is be as good at it as possible.

Karma Bank to Following By Listening by Chiemi

These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
