Our words can take what’s not ours

To tell a parrot a lie

It’ll blindly repeat never deny

Squawking out to passerby's

Who look on with wary eyes

It’ll say it forever, day and night 

Not even knowing it isn’t right

And once someone says it’s not true

That parrot will be filled with rue

It’ll feel guilty, even more than sad

It never knew those words were bad

But somehow the parrot is to blame

It said the lie and that’s what it became 

A way of life in the dark

A journey it never wanted to embark
