Insensitive Neighbour

I reside in a city suburb in which apartments and residences are enclosed in perimeter walls. Naturally, the rents are premium.

One would expect that the behavior of the residents in this neighborhood conforms with this relatively high cost of living. Not quite

Recently a neighbor who resides in a double storied bungalow brought a cock from his village. The cock crows at peak volume at awkward hours of the night and day, every day all week.

Sometimes we are awoken suddenly at 04:00 Am in the night by the high-pitched sound. The cock will then continue crowing intermittently after every 10 minutes right until day break around 06:00 Am. This implies we hardly have any sleep day in day out. This has been going on for a month now.

I gathered courage and informed the neighbor about the immense inconvenience his cock had brought to the neighborhood. His response was; *“The cock does not affect me as I sleep”*.

He also advised me to shift houses if I was bothered by his cock. I escalated the issue to the Village Chairman. The neighbor informed the Chairman that he bought the cock to feast on come Christmas.

I am left with the following questions;

• What informs such inhuman behavior where the neighbor attaches more importance to his cock over the rest of an entire neighborhood?
• What will society reap from such fragrant exhibition of arrogant behavior by this new “wealthy” class?
• In which KCCA Office can such uncouth behavior be reported.
I wish my neighbor could be humane; slaughter the cock, enjoy his soup so that we can have a rest in our houses.
• What motivates a family man to behave in such a cruel manner over such a festive season?
