The chief rooster has crowed;
His white-feathered chickens rush
To yards to roost and do their peckings:
Leaving bloody death with their droppings.

Roasting death filled the Texas air
With the aromas of gun powder and garlic;
The voracious appetite of racism tended,
It moved on to other festive events.

The fiercely racial rhetorical echo
Took its devastating toll in El Paso;
Swiftly reverberated its corruption
And blew bloody death into Dayton
