Shrill clanging
But the song doesn’t change
An unending alarm, a bell that won’t stop
A hunger for someone Anyone
to heed the sound
But the Song stays the same
Piercing screeching on it goes
Gripping with its taloned toes
To the same old fence with the same old song
Wondering who will tell him he’s wrong
Wishing he could change your mind
But the song stays the same
Farmers yell “enough already!”
Yet it’s voice continues to pierce their ears
It’s a voice no one wants to hear
And he keeps on going not knowing what’s near
As the leaves drop round and it snows
Why did God give a painful song
To a bird who’s job is to not live long
To make all around cringe and run
From a noise that cannot be undone
That mixes pain with fear and doubt
Where sorrow screams and wrath comes out
What point is grief if it does not change
And leaves destruction in its wake
No one wants it to persevere
And no one close to it can hear
even the singer wants the song to change
So Why does he sing the same old song
Why scream rooster, on and on?
