Chintito

Instead

Chintito

The FOX is wailing in the tube-lit night

The sky can no longer be called bright

Fading hastily too is the fright

Instead there is plucky disdain

The RATS are scurrying back to their hole

The loyal can no longer climb up the pole

Becoming vague too is the goal

Instead there is greener grass

The CROWS are yelling their vain guts out

The silent can no longer express their doubt

Increasing too is the loudness of a lout

Instead there is soft murmur


The OGRES are prancing in the creamy cage

The baffled can no longer express their rage

Diluting too is the demand of the age

Instead there is youth aware


The SNAKES for long been slithering on concrete

The elected can no longer claim pristine grit

Disappearing too is image bit by bit

Instead there is compassion


The PIGS are showing their human face again

The minors need no longer stoop to the main

Sitting pretty and pink too is the villain

Instead there is a roughened seraph
