NOW THAT THE HYENAS ARE IN POWER.
(FSO)
They stood against the dogs,
Who who have better experience in watching over the community,
The goats, sheep, the hens and the cows.
They stood against them, driving away from the land depriving them of anything good.
With the help of other rogue animals,
The hyenas sat enthroned, grabbing all powers and authority, even though, they never deserve it.
Now that the hyenas are in power,
All essential benefits,
Have all been withdrawn, from the community.
Men women and children,
Including the rogue animals, who helped the hyenas to power,
All walk about, with head dropping down the shoulder,
With empty stomach, walking about, with no food to eat and with throat dried up like the Sahara.
Now that the hyenas are in power,
Even the rogue animals, have been been sidelined.
Prices have taken their permanent seat
with the cloud in the sky.
Now that the hyenas are in power,
The hunters can't hunt no more,
The forest is full of danger,
The farmers can't til the ground no more,
For danger and death lurk around.
People can't travel no more,
For the roads is full of danger, marauders and death,
Community can't sleep no more, for every night danger lurks,
Dangers from the wolves,
Dangers from the wild dogs.
Now that the hyenas are in power,
The land is in famine,
Even the rogue animals,
Those who helped the hyenas to power,
Are not spared either,
The goats and the cows keep missing, the sheep keep disappearing,
And together with the people,
They all cry out in pain,
For the hyenas are out dealing with every one,
Not minding who is on their side or not.

Fso.
