Cruelty is something that happens at all levels, from siblings to the government oppressing its people. "Boys Whistling Like Canaries" explores the politics of the past century, in particular the oppressive nature and viciousness that have happened. Seeking to paint with emotion and inspire people to stand against corruption in their governments, "Boys Whistling Like Canaries" is of strong interest for many readers who enjoy political thought as well as poetry. "Some Truths Noted While Walking Alone": The triangular window holds its corners differently/than the square window./The square window is open to suggestion./The circular window is afraid/of what comes from the sky/and makes its view known simply./The sky always dreams of a dress/made of yellow squares each night/but forgets the image entirely upon waking.//Blue then is the absence of memory.//The clouds are farm animals.//There is no pig.
