Recite

Heed the reciting bird
For truthfully the words being told have no innate meaning behind them
As the bird is blissfully innocent of the things he repeats
The echoing callings through the forest are from those of today
From the men who march onward to cause chaos and plunder
This bird merely repeats the ignorant pride of those who blindingly seek
The words of men who take lives for game
When the bird speaks it is known to the recipient to flee
Reciting a cheerful melody
Created from the forlorn words that cause so much pain
The words still repeat as they mesh with the voices of those who will eventually reap
But until that day comes the reciting bird will continue to sing
Across the lands as a warning for everyone to heed
An innocent bird, the teller of those who commit the most horrendous deeds
