The Rooster Awakens
Laura Yvonne Mortensen 1939 (Bingham)
The rooster crows at the break of dawn,
To awaken the spirit of all mankind.
He is a symbol of life to come,
Where people will love all, not some.
Whether your face is black or white,
Cries will be stopped throughout the night.
The rooster will crow and not take flight
For he understands the reasons of sight.
That mankind will suffer and learn through error,
That love will survive throughout the terror.
We are all important and and that is right!
So awake to the passing of the night.
