Such gullibility is required
From the world around us!
Such a pattern of frailty
Leading to a jagged moment of
Innocence
At it's worst.

Such seemingly joyous songs  
The birds are required to sing!
The sun must hold it's breath
And turn away in reverence
Flowers, spreading the unnecessarily
colorfull miracle of life.

Such gullibility is required
From the world around us,
For us to believe such a Conjured
Expression: "I Love You"
A pink, feathery burden
Too soon lifted by a whisper of death.

Once the specimen is vanquished
The cage itself smiles
But in Vain.
