Unsuspecting Mockingbird
A Poem About Predator and Prey
There's a killer on the loose
Cat like reflexes, stalks quietly
His prey, like the unnoticing mockingbird
Drunk on her song, has not a clue
Torture, rape, isolation,
and a snap of the frail neck
Can't catch a break
But the cycle is harder to break
She never had a chance
Claws and beak, can't withstand
Duck tape, rope, nor the drugs
Injected. Pliant sex toy, keeps you ohh..
so docile and quite..
doing what is expected
a paper doll, no fight, no voice
Moving on to the next
greyish room, with just a bed
Slimy black mold lines grey bare walls,
sitting dead middle, rusting
with the tears of past captured beauties
a pedestal of unwanted attention
A metal chair, a perch just for you
to perform, so sing little mockingbird
For the cat is on the prowl
Feral without feeling
Always searching for the next
unsuspecting naive
little mockingbird bird
