It went on and on about
nothing.
It was a tricksy child
attempting to convince others
of its non-existent meaning
A parrot that droned
on and on about
nothing
Convincing those naive
that it was pretty.
A birdboy that was
defeathered, boiled alive
and eaten for supper--
meaning still nothing
Turned to fuel so those
that heard his futile screams
can live to hear the sound
of silence.
