Quack 2

(I’d like to know when)
Truth is paired up to forgiveness
Wondering why they can forfeit their stake
Sharply for an opportunity to expand


Forgetting all that they’ve known
Those sparrows fly land to land
Narrowly missing the hand to catch them
Far away to rest their wings upon the branch


(I’d like to know why)
Truth is paired to the relentless
Demons who could rip and take away
Simply because there was demand
To fly towards the sky and the sun;
The clouds really, who knew that there was
Even a place in - oh, never mind.


Rip or take away, just not today.
We’ll need a few more, please.
We know however, that the king allows you
Pale demons to rip and pluck


(Giving the)
Light feathers to the dark wings
Of the cave bats who flutter and mock silently
Around the sparrow’s nest, to which
They will never return.
