The prized songbird in Singapore
warbles for the rooster of Bangladesh
The boy standing in front of him smiles
admiring his pride
The cock walk and red plummage would be something to laugh at
if they weren't so brilliant
a welcome sight amongst rubble and dust
Transcending any restrictions their stations might imply
they know something more than the watchful eye behind the camera's lense
They know something more than you or I
