Squawk

Squawk

Brave bird brains with gaping beaks

Sever the flock 

Upon the rock

Future flies among the cries

Of chitter chatter 'yes' magpies

Feathered friends of old and young

Caw "never a split

Will see ye fit"

Future based on premonitions

Of patriotic homing pigeons

Tight rope walkers sway their way

Yes today
No, not this way

Future flies among the tweets
Of cautious friends with muffled beaks

Vultures watch and circle high
Seek out the weak
Minds to tweak 

Future flies among the words
Of all the squawking chatty birds

Neither right and neither wrong
But neither truly know the song.
