We Are Doves Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

'Try the other one! '

I did and I can't fit!

'Well...
'Pick another one! '

You pick it..
Why are we bothering with this?

'They want us pigeoned holed.
And it seems they have forgotten who we are! '

Then why are we here?
Wasting all this time to see if things can work out?
We are Doves!
Let 'them' run after 'nuts'.
They will never recognize
We do not chase after popcorn!
We are Doves...
And pigeoned holed,
We can not be!
Wasn't that understood?
Before they claimed us as property?

We are Doves!
Have you too forgotten?
