Old sick Parrot
sick with malevolent rage
stuck in a dingy cage
Far from jungle green
born to see a tropic sun
that's why he's so glum
Waits for death to come
high up on his perch he sits
and coughs ~ coughs and spits
To cage a Parrot
be he red or be he green
is just damn OBSCENE
Thanks for reading ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN

- Comment from author about the poem: I love PARROTS ~ charming and intelligent birds. Having seen their joy and beauty in the wild I think anyone who keeps a Parrot in a cage should be locked up in a cage for life. Do you agree ~ please comment. Love BRIAN

That was fun to read
Thanks DARRON ~ most of the poetry on MPS is a bit black & sombre. Good to have a smile now and again ~ pleased you enjoyed it. Yours BRIAN
I so agree Brian, It breaks my heart to see beautiful parrots or any bird caged, and some with hardly enough room to move, truly disgusting.....Your voice came strong in the reading and there is no mistaking your feelings on the subject , the clear imagery of your words and the pic set me off to thinking of all other beautiful creatures that suffer too.. Bravo for making your stand on this one my friend.......Dee
Thanks DEE for your very empathetic comment on my cri de coeur for POLLY ! The worst captive animals are the big cats especially TIGERS. They "prowl" so melancholy in their cages. I've only seen LIONS in the wild (South Africa) and they are so so majestic. Yours BRIAN
When we are caged it's called punishment, yet we still cage animals for our own entertainment! A very witty way of conveying the message, really enjoyed it!
THANKS DANIEL ~ A little wit can ameliorate a serious message ~ DON'T FENCE ME IN ! Yours BRIAN
