Donkey's Song For You And Me Poem by Raj Arumugam

hee-haw, hee-haw
haw haw haw he
hee-haw, hee-haw
he, he, he, haw;
haw, haw, haw, haw
he he he he haw
hee-haw, hee-haw,
he, e, e, ‘ee-‘aw



oh, once in ancient times
I roamed free
like all wild creatures
but you ensnared me;
and you made a donkey of me
and made of me a beast of burden
and the butt of your jokes
and you thought that’s so clever of you
but I’ve got news for you,
you witless humans:
if you haven’t noticed already
you’re just too clever for your own good -
and that’s not very clever, is it?



hee-haw, hee-haw
haw haw haw he
hee-haw, hee-haw
he, he, he, haw;
haw, haw, haw, haw
he he he he haw
hee-haw, hee-haw,
he, e, e, ‘ee-‘aw



you see what’ you’ve done
to our world;
me, simple donkey,
all I need are some grass and weeds
but you, you’ve eaten every corner of the earth
and all you’ll leave your progeny
is a barren, poisoned earth!
and I see the air’s stinking
and the water’s killing the fish
and you made creatures disappear
and now you fight each other for food:
hey, you human donkeys –
there’s irony in that,
you might have deduced that
if you had listened to your poetry teachers!



hee-haw, hee-haw
haw haw haw he
hee-haw, hee-haw
he, he, he, haw;
haw, haw, haw, haw
he he he he haw
hee-haw, hee-haw,
he, e, e, ‘ee-‘aw



and so
may an asteroid or comet
hit the planet hard
and may you all choke in billows of stellar clouds;
and may you all perish in that
and that not for your own good
but for the good of the planet
that will bounce back long after
you all choke and dropp dead like
birds in the air you pollute…



hee-haw, hee-haw
haw haw haw he
hee-haw, hee-haw
he, he, he, haw;
haw, haw, haw, haw
he he he he haw
hee-haw, hee-haw,
he, e, e, ‘ee-‘aw



and I see also
you still fight and kill one another
over your silly world religions
and your juvenile beliefs and blind faiths
and so may you continue
and holily fight one another
until you are all wholly dead
and so may each kill the other
and may you all
in one explosion
move on to the next world
and discover
that your only reality is hell
and the only True God is Donkey
and may Donkey God
show you all your donkey ears
and kick you all in your butts
and with infinite teeth
bite you into insanity
for the whole of eternity
forever and ever



hee-haw, hee-haw
haw haw haw he
hee-haw, hee-haw
he, he, he, haw;
haw, haw, haw, haw
he he he he haw
hee-haw, hee-haw,
he, e, e, ‘ee-‘aw
