On pride and the fall

FIGHTING COCKS AND THE EAGLE

/prʌɪd/
a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one's own achievements, the achievements of those with whom one is closely associated, or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired: "the team was bursting with pride after recording a sensational victory"

/fɔːl/
move from a higher to a lower level, typically rapidly and without control: "five inches of snow fell through the night"

YAWN GREAT

Oh those fighting cocks, strike, thrust, thrash, strut

Once a tale the boys and the girls whispered in sworn secrecy

Size exaggerated by virtuous ignorance, enormous, grotesque

Colours guessed from scraps of old black and white magazines

Now in super high rez, fifteen second video formats

For your instant gratification, dissemination, degredation

The loser banished to dark holes while the winner struts the yard

Crow, baby, crow until EAGLE swoops, you are fucked

Oh fuck my dear winning cock, you are truly fucked

And now the yard belongs to the loser, the loser cock

What was it all for, my dear cock, what was it all?

EAGLE
You are a beautiful creature, so glorious, so free.  You can look down on us, you...
