Fowl Play

The chicken that was pecking the grain
Was hardly aware that it was its last day
Only when it crowed in the morning
That we woke up for the feast of the day

When blood spurted from the cut of the knife 
Its moan subsided with its life
The pity and guilt in mashing the flesh
Vanished in the aroma of the dish.
