PIDGIN ON THE ROOF-

~PIDGIN ON THE ROOF

Holler ya voice git down
Talk to me roost, nest, and dance. 
Talking rooftops their height, providing a safe vantage point 
Speak out potential threats moral sources.
Rest of the outside world understands not their voices
 Roofs offer shelter from elements speaking nooks and crannies.
Speak compassion commandment reactions they ain’t no Jim Dandy
Talk to me for suit, pidgin on the roof 
Here's a more detailed look what pigeons do on roof
Gathering voices protesting choices in languages from urban hoods
Use rooftops as resting spots, elevated areas ledges speak aloud their virtues 
They build steps in various locations, dance under eaves, 
Scream into vents rafters, and window sills, 
Dance on materials like ground twigs N leaves. 
Talk to me for suit, pidgin on the roof 
Swoop down to ground level ta dance and voice their intentions,
 Especially if there are nearby people formal gathers
 Utilize rooftops to look down on citizens
Observing Predators atop shouting obscenities
Telling the world they don’t belong to these
The height of a roof offers a good view surrounding
 Area spot potential predators 
Git down git loose Pidgin on the roof
