(Betrayal - If You Can’t Beat Them Join Them)

By Danw

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Do you not hear the song of the birds? Can’t you hear their sweet song slowly changing The beauty of their music rivalled only by the setting of the evening sun Their song never changing while all around them fails to stay the same The beautiful birds sing their song whilst all around them dance But wait all is not as seems if you look closely and not glance Butterflies dancing in the sky Being scorched by the sun Soon they will have to die Cannot you see they have not fun Only pain until come fourth the rain to take their pain away The water eases their pain but slowly tears away at their beautiful colours Suddenly everything stops But their song remains the same, only now quiet Saddened by what fills their fragile minds The butterflies no longer dance as they are fooled into the sky Now the butterfly sings a song, but he does not know why ‘These evil demons have tricked us my friends’ ‘But wait it’s too late, now we must meet our end’ The evil vultures scream their song a voice to guide the blind But again the birds have tricked him for his home he’ll never find You listened to smiling you stood the whole day through When in their world of insanity they were watching you Do not trust these demons they are devils in disguise I’m afraid my friend they’ve killed again right before your eyes What can you do to stop song kill them and go to hell Many of us just sing along, now we are sick as well Written December 22nd, 2000 © on Feb 28 2002 05:39 AM PST   10 • 0
