Birds Aren’t Real

by Courtney Rogat

Everyone has seen a bird soar Up in the sky, you see them from your door But here’s something you haven’t heard before Birds Aren’t Real

The US Government is the one to blame They are the ones who started this game And they have not yet denied the claim That Birds Aren’t Real

Birds are all secret government spies Floating around to hear our lies No one would see it under their disguise Birds Aren’t Real

Every second they sit and observe Squawking and getting on your very last nerve Then reporting back to the agency they serve Birds Aren’t Real

Gathering intel like a goldmine Charging as they sit on the power line Preparing to document the next headline Birds Aren’t Real

This is something no one would ever guess And I don’t quite know how to express The dread in my body that I try to oppress Because Birds Aren’t Real

These robot replicas are quite compelling If I hadn’t told you, there’s really no telling But now you know you can’t buy what they’re selling Birds Aren’t Real

No one is safe here Until all these “birds” disappear And they can no longer overhear Us expose that Birds Aren’t Real
