War break,

Jungle quake,

Jungle dwellers

Divided,

Pitch tenths

And apportion blames.

Jungle

Continues to quake.

In the beginning,

The fox attacked

The nest of the dove.

With its claws,

Made mince meat 

Of dove children.

The dove fought back,

With its beak

Made fox's abode inhabitable.

A little bird named cacaphony 

In a shrill voice

Chirps,

Genocide! 

Genocide!! 

Genocide!!!

The fox burrowed hole 

Underneath a place named humanitarian,

With a sly smile

Hid inside the burrowed hole

Listening to the chirps,

Genocide!

Genocide!!

Genocide!!!
