The swans have killed the goslings as before
Their little river scene of love and war
The swans have threatened me as I walk by
Leaning on my stick,I see the sky
Territorial rights and greater force
The swans are the aristocrats of war
The geese must find a place where they
Will be lords and masters for a day
The ducks have left the island in the town
As swans desire their home to settle down
There is no fairness except that of a the brute
For moorhen, brilliant duck and little coot
Are we too like the swans and savage beasts
As Bedouins are moved on and have no nest
