Thread: "Acid for the Birds"

  1. #1

    "Acid for the Birds"

    The mango grows evergreens
    As we pick the nooses holding
    Niggers threaded by cocoons
    Made of tangerine banana leaves.

    The bull whips kiss the backs
    Of pigeons with a tab of acid
    Sifting below the slither.

    Lets all make shadow puppets
    Under the rainbow hues,
    And the pigeon towed crows
    Can plow the ocean's undertow
    On the backs of unicorns so
    Their feet never have to reach
    The sea urchin's tattered cove.

    The three winged pigeon wears
    A monocle so he can view the
    World through glass to feel
    The dark side of the moon on display;
    That way he can be alittle closer
    To that man on the moon without
    Getting lost in the milky way.

    Giggle little pigeon, and remove
    Your mask, you're not attending
    This yester's masquerade...

    You've got niggers to pick.

    Back to the dessert, pick me
    A thread of sanity and weave
    A home the wolves can't
    Whisper through.

    If you can brandish me this
    Cloud of only silver lining,
    You can where a suit to work
    On casual Friday.

    So come in my dear,
    My house of mirrors wont
    Laugh I promise, she'll be nice.
    I've got candy, and those pricker
    Bushes don't look to appetizing,
    So get into my horse drawn
    Casket and we'll follow the rainbow,
    Until you help me paint it's
    Spectrums with a squint's opaque.

    Oh, sorry my sweet little pigeon,
    Lollipops are not optional...
    You will take the candy
    Cuz my dear, Mr. Wonka
    Is just so very lonely.

    Spin your head, watch me
    Do it Alice, WATCH ME!

    Yes, little pigeon put on
    Your monocle and follow
    The white rabbit down
    Through the revolving doors.
    We can fall up together
    If you accept the Caterpillar's
    Offers, little Alice.

    Either way, this tea party
    Is going to happen!

    Eat your biscuits and kiss
    The Mad Hatter while he pets
    The Chesire Pussy cat with
    The Caterpillar's huka necks!

    Just remember that Friday
    Suit you were promised,
    My dear little pigeon.

    All of the giving tree's stale
    Fruits will gaze in aspiration.
    My favorite pigeon has passed
    Her acid test... Take your suit;

    Now waddle back to
    The dessert my little penguin,
    Sit under the rainbow,
    Until I decide to venture
    Back into the Rabbit's hole.

    Eh. I really didn't like this because of your racial slurs, even though you were trying to express, and get a point across, I still really don't approve of these measures. Call me a small minded person, but it just doesn't seem right to me for you to express like this. I've never seen you do something like this kind of writing before, but I dunno what you were trying to get at.

    But, of course that's just me.

    I did it with Mindless before you came here. The piece is about racism, but whatever.

    this seemed a bit derranged. i like your use of many metaphors and it flowed well though it didn't seem to have a rhyme scheme. it seemed to have alot of things going on so it was hard to catch the overall meaning, but what i got from it is someone is luring a little black girl to molest her. thats why it seems strange. it pisses me off that i couldn't get for certain the overall meaning lol. i like the way you challenge intellegent minds and stump feeble ones. i'll have to read this over and over untill i get the whole thing now dammit! i can't just leave something like this misunderstood or misinturpurated. i'll comment again when i get the whole thing lol.

    Lol... Well, at its heart the piece is, like you were getting on, about slavery and more specifically the rape and mistreament of slave women by slave holders.

    You are very emotional in the work I have seen from you so far....I like that. I am always interested from the start because of yuor originality in titles and topics...this was a disappointment in a way. I didn't really like the topic...but I understand what you mean. It's a good read, so don't get me wrong...I just didn't like the topic too much....and it's not because of racial slurs like Exact said...I just didn't feel it...you know? Well good read like I said...and your wording is thought provoking and very well organized....7.5/10.
