Pigeons
Like wild animals caught in a cage We bite, tear, and claw at our flesh and bones Desperately, destructively With madness and rage Seeking to escape the steel prison that has captured, tortured, and brutalized our souls Screaming with agony and delight we pray for something, anything to appear or change Moan, groan, howl, Like animals gone insane Let me call your attentionto a man closing his heartand whistling a happy tune He swore it wouldn’t hurtthis timebut his tearshe just can't hide Love he believesis the worst of liesAs he gazes upon the worldwith his cold orphan eyes A shield will soonreplace this ragged worn disguise You have shown them allhe thinksno one could fool you His life has always beenbut a series of accidentsawaiting an emergency room Soon there will beno evidence that hewas ever even here He knows thisfully understands itbut still, he doesn’t care No one will ever know his secretsor the treasuresthat he held so dear He will die alone and forgottenleft with justhis twisted sense of pride Only some pigeons will miss himwhen his park bench is emptyon that day he dies
