Two mocking birds fighting for glory.
Hopping from railing to railing over their territory.
Don't they sense the danger inside lurking?
Five, hungry cats watching their perching.
They seem unaffected,
As if they couldn't care less.
Much unlike the rest of the world, I do confess.
We often are found so afraid of our world.
We see it as a scary place, not something needing to be toiled.
We're so scared of this world
We won't drink the water.
We're so scared of this world
We hide our real names.
We're so scared of this world
We lock all our car doors
Our windows,
Our minds.
Nothing left open
For fear of being stolen.
But the things we should really protect
We seldom do.
We leave our self confidence to be wrecked,
Our smiles to falter,
and our hearts to be broken.
Our clothes to be judged
and our minds to be ashamed.
But the mocking birds didnt care.
They struted around
Their wings all a-flutter,
Their uniqueness showed proudly.
Where the humans,
"The greatest race",
Sits and hides inside
Afraid to let the sunshine grace the skin they hold so dear.
