The Sins of Man

Family Abuse - Parrots

Parrots

Perched atop

the highest tower,

sit the parrots

down they glower.

Down upon

unknowing man,

they say the only

words they can:

"My name is

Polly, David, Fey.

Please doný hurt me.

Please stay away."

Memories

they have but few.

The words they hold don't

mean they knew.

In the home

where they'd lied for years,

there was now blood

and piling fears.

They broke out

and now they have

the crowd of people,

trusting fate.
