Fable of the Rooster and the Hen

Fable of the Rooster and the Hen

for Jah Amiel, James, Jazmin,

Jordan, Mahadevi, Kevin,

and you

There was a farm that had many chickens and roosters. One rooster used to control his many hens with an iron fist and he made the sound of the rooster to let others roosters know not to mess with his hens. He roared and cockadoddledoed early in the morning to signal dawn of the new day. And he cockadoodledoed throughout the day, strutting around the yard with his hens well under control, standing guard when they were laying eggs, especially when he found the door of the big house open and one of his favorites would lay her eggs on the couch in the living room of the big house.

The rooster would not go inside but stand in the doorway so he could watch both ways, inside the house and outside. If the farm lady would not come into the house and chase the hen outside, the hen would stay until she laid her egg, then she and the rooster would go down the steps and back into the yard, joining the other roosters, hens and baby chicks.

There were other fowl on the farm too: turkeys, ducks, guineas, peacocks, doves, and pigeons.

One day, after the farm lady got some special feed from the store and tried a little out on the rooster, he no longer could make the sound of the rooster. The other fowl were surprised when they heard rooster sounding like a hen and no longer making the sound of the mighty rooster. They all laughed at the rooster and thought he had gone crazy. What the hell is wrong with you, rooster, they asked. They figured maybe the farm lady had given him some special food to make him sound different. They were happy she didn't give them the feed she gave the poor rooster, who looked so pitiful and sounded even worse.

They knew something had changed him and he started not only sounding like a hen but acting like one as well. He made every attempt to act like he was laying eggs, although he wasn't able to lay any, still he put on a show for everyone on the farm who gathered around to see him play the role of a hen. Other rooster's would even stand guard while he pretended to lay eggs, though he couldn't, it was just an act and they went along with it just to please him.

He no longer strutted about like a rooster but like a hen. They called him a freak and made fun of him until he couldn't take it anymore and asked the farm lady to give him some better food so he could sound and act like a rooster again.

She honored his request, telling him she was trying out some new feed and didn't think it would completely alter his behavior, she told him she was sorry, and she would never give him that feed and special water again. The feed store had told her to try it out, but she would not bring anymore to the farm. The rooster was happy to return to his true self and make the sound of a rooster. The hens gathered around him again and the other fowl danced they were so happy to see he was a rooster again and not a hen.

Dear Black Studies:
In passing out this fable yesterday at the Berkeley Flea Market (the African market of the Bay), I first asked brothers if they were a rooster or a hen? I
would say 90% did not know, this included young and old, but especially the young, those who've never been to the country or have never seen a live rooster
and hen. Some years ago I took a twenty-five year old male up north where I had a writing retreat in the country, with cows on the land across from me. The
twenty-five year old had never seen a live cow and wanted badly to touch it, and he did so until the bull came over.

I left the Berkeley Flea Market in a state of shock and depressed at the level of ignorance.

Anyway, I was told to tell Black Studies Departments to give a lesson on the difference between the rooster and hen. At the very least, take a survey of your
children and students to see if they know the difference. Have we escaped the natural order of life?

Hi Marvin,

When people ask what is Marx's ''theory of alienation', the answer they get is usually, ''the means of production'', that is that they neither own or control them.

All of which is not really correct. But it's the standard from either social democrats or Stalinists, as both are based on the same revisions of Marx's works, with further addition by the revisionism of the Stalinists to Lenin's or Trotsky's works.

The Stalinist, either Russian based or Maoist, will tell you that if the working class can take over the state, and then ''nationalise' the means of production and the land, then all will live in the new heaven.
But as we've seen with the USSR and China, to which we can add Spain and Portugal, right wing developments, all have led to the imposition of exploiting societies again, as in continuation, state capitalism, ''not socialisation of the means of production'', transformed to private capitalism.

The Chartist movement in England early 1800's, a movement that Marx joined, already had the policy of calling for the 'breaking down of barriers between town and country''.
The bringing of the countryside into the towns, which in fact was still ongoing, as towns originally developed from large villages, some that merged into bigger developments. All older towns and cities were little more than a coalescing of a collection of villages, at points on rivers or roads, which also became manufacturing and essentially trading areas.

Now lets go back to ''hunter gatherers'', so what was the means of production ?
If not the earth itself ?
The first tools were the hands and teeth, then they added such things as stones and branches, of differing sizes. And so we progress to the present day, but underlying it all is still the earth and all it produces, in every form. The earth is Paradise. Everything the human can need comes from the earth, as does the human itself, what is wrong is it's relationship, perverted by minorities groups against the majority.

If children are 'alienated from the land, then they are also alienated from all that lives and grows on it, they do not understand natural processes any more, as in their own sexuality, which is also a natural process, but they are alienated.
Trying to patch up bits and pieces, will never answer the problem, which is what the bourgeoisie do, with psychologists, sociologists, welfare workers etc, a middle class group for each little element of a big problem. But what the masses of people need to really understand is the 'big' problems, not the problems broken down into little bits, for the middle classes to feed off.

As humans now live isolated from the earth, the countryside, in cities, they no longer have any comparisons with other forms of life, which is how the human first began to understand itself and other forms, how it began to developed agriculture and animal husbandry.
It's easy now for the Bourgeois class, and it's lackeys, bootlickers, to foist upon the masses that we are ''apes'', as such we also have the same sexuality as apes do, as in the Bonobo chimpanzee, or others.
Yet the same bourgeoisie tell's us that the monkeys and apes are now different groups of species, so why don't they also tell people that Humans are no longer apes, that they too have become an organisation in its own right ?
We are now Humans. But of course Marx' humanism is another question.
----

What is a hen ? One that has changed into a rooster ? the middle classes, the house slaves, the drug is money or privileges, a small power over others, yet they can be demoted at any time, so there is also the sense of fear, as with people who take illegal drugs, they never really know what's going to happen, its not always the same, a little like Russian roulette.
Most people of the working classes are hens, the women we can understand, but the men have been castrated ideologically, psychologically, religiously. They put forward they are of patriarchal religions, but then copy, imitate, follow the Jews, who are matriarchal, so the men have minds, and with some habits, of women, they all think like women.Women have charge over children, so its easy to see how they change when given privilege, as in the overseers

What is a rooster ? One that has changed into a hen ?
Think like women ?
Think like women ?
So what is the difference ?
One is a man who ''thinks he likes women'' an 'idea'' in the head, which drives him to constantly chase after women, even though he's paying through the nose, if he doesn't he goes without, unless he rapes them.
The other is a man who has been raised by women only, who has not had any influence from a man, so can only think like a woman, literally. All/most of the rest are somewhere between in bourgeois society.
And there is ideological training, in religion and schools, and of course reinforced by the media.
And this is played out in life everyday.

The natural order for the rooster and hens is not a 'natural order' for humans, but it is for them, but if people don't know what a human is, then it can be applied, as in a slave owners dominance over the slaves, or a harem.
The natural order of life is destroyed by false societies, but brought back by a persons own humanity.
People are 'alienated' from the earth itself, even though they live on it, the contradiction that needs to be resolved. Not 'solved' but re-solved', as humans once previously lived with the earth, and the earth was the teacher.

Mirror image, in a mirror the vertical remains the same, ''it appear to be upright'', but on the horizontal it reverses, left become right, and vice versa.

As Marvin is known to 'think', I'll leave it at that for now.

Gerald.

Parable of the Pit Bull

Note: Gerald Ali put my fable of the Rooster and Hen in the context of alienation from the land, of which animals and their nature has escaped those landless in the urban, concrete jungle. But what is ironic is the nature of man when he returns to nature, his alienation has turned him into a straight out killer. When people used to come to my writing retreat in the mountains of northern California, they wanted to kill everything moving: kill the bee, the lizard, the spider, the rabbit, the deer, the cow, the hawk, everything. I had to tell them don't kill nothing here. Relax, get in harmony with nature. Be still, consider the mountains, the trees, the lakes and ponds, the sky, the sun and wind, all the glory of Creation.

In short then, my fable of the Rooster and Hen was out of order, misplaced and had no relevance to the urban lifestyle, especially for those not from down south or the country. This Parable of the Pit Bull might be more appropriate.

Fable of the Pit Bull

There was a pit bull who lived in the city. A man wanted to buy him and raise him for protection, so he met with the owner and get the pedigree. He investigated the history of the dog and his family connections, to make sure he was a pure bred. Once he was clear the pit bull came from a legit line, he paid for the animal and brought him home. He was happy to have a nice pet, especially one so pure and not polutted like a mut, a cross breed or mongrel, a mutation who DNA was of questionable nature.

He loved his pit bull and the animal loved him. He trained the dog for fighting, and he was a great fighter, a champion who won many battles.

And then the man met a women he really liked. He knew almost nothing about her, but he hooked up with her and eventually she moved in with him. He didn't know where she came from, nothing about her family roots, her friends, her education and work history, whether she was psychotic and/or neurotic, suicidal and/or homicidal, whether she was radical or revolutionary. He didn't know she had been raised in a foster home, and later an ophenage, that she had seen her mother stab her grandmother, that her mother had a nervous breakdown and was confined to an institution for life. He didn't know any of this. He didn't know she had been a prostitute, homeless and a drug addict. But he loved her and married her. Since he was rich, a baller, big willie, he gave her the best of everything, just as he treated his pit bull, even better. He dressed her in the finest clothes and took her to eat in the finest restaurants and clubs.

And then one day she disappeared. He didn't know what happened to her. Worried to death, he hired a private investigator to search for her. The private eye found her in a two dollar motel with a trick.

The man told the private eye not to disturb her, leave her where she was.
