The Splendid Canary, a splash of yellow cadence,
it flies through its forest, heedless of any hindrance.
It denotes an impatience,
excitement for a difference.
The Raucous Canary, screaming rage and vibrance,
into every heart, every person afraid of a world on fire.
It inspires defiance,
against the concrete mire.
The Free Canary, loose from a cage of strings,
tearing itself bloody, through the metal briar.
Red splatter on its wings,
pushed it even higher.
The Canaries, a flock of indigo omen,
streaming out of deadly nests, full of poison and greed.
Lungs filled with corrosion,
entrenched by corporate creed.
Can you hear the Canary’s cacophonous swansong?
I can, an intoxicating warning.
We’ll fly away together.
Will you come with?
