A CRY FOR JUSTICE

For how long will this debasing treatment continue?
For how long will this inhuman treatment continue?
For how long will they look down on us?
For how long will we be pressed down?

When will the chickens leave the innocent termites alone?
When will the chicken's lack of pity for the innocent creature cease?
When will the chickens and termites share the same right? (since both are living)
When will the termites cry for justice and be heard?

Why does the chicken think he is lord over the termite?
Why does the chicken think the termites will remain helpless forever?
Why does the chicken thou alive suppose the termites are lifeless?
Why does the termites tremble at the footsteps of the chicken?

Who will save this innocent creature?
Who will make it feel loved?
Who will make his rights known to the chicken?
Who will make the chicken amend his wicked ways?

Will this maltreatment have no end?
Will this discrimination not com to an end?
Will this dehumanization never cease?
Will this  nonsense have no limits?

But won't the chicken be surprised?
If he wakes up and see the termites with teeth?
Or if he finds the termites walking on two legs?
Surely no condition is permanent.
