SOCIAL STUDIES AND VOCATIONAL SKILLS
Read the following poem below carefully and then answer the questions that
follow below.
They don’t sing our praises and prides,
Yet we are a better meal to them,
They travel across the world to see others birds,
Are we not beautiful too or are we just a meal?
I wonder and ask myself,
What matters to them, sight or stomach?
Aren’t we also natural alarms clocks?
We crow at dawn with no payment.
But when they have a function or get a visitor
Being a natural alarm clock is forgotten,
They enjoy our bodies, calling them meat,
They thank each other for the meal, but do they appreciate us?
We give the white meat,
To better their health,
They also consider us their source of income,
What would they do without us?
