tell maya THE CAGED BIRD sings not

“The caged bird sings not, but mutters its lament upon its breath;
The caged bird wings not, except to ink its feathers unto death.” —cabcool
 
tell maya  
the caged bird  
sings not  
for lyrics  
torn by tears  
leave no room  
for oxytocin  
to dose on  
 
kumbaya  
the caged bird  
b  r  i  n  g  s    not  
f  o  r     s  p  i  r  i  t  s  
b o r n     o f    f e a r s  
weave   the   g l o o m  
that likes to close in  
impose   on  
         
hellfire  
the caged bird  
clings not  
for remits  
sworn by seers  
cleave the tomb  
that fools repose in  
death frozen  
 
tell maya  
the caged bird  
w  i  n  g  s     n o t  
f o r      l  i  m  i   t  s  
b o r n e   b y   a i r s  
breed  f a t  doom  
by  overdosing  
the chosen
