did you know that cuckoos bring their eggs to your nest which are camouflaged to look like your eggs?
and then you nurture sit on them and nurture them until they hatch to wreck the rest of your eggs?
i imagined these cuckoos are like the henchmen of the grey cardinal who dazzles everyone like the hypnotizing snake in jungle book to distract from sneaking the eggs in.
this was all very real in my head only one year and a million quarantine eras ago

GREY CARDINAL

Chaos was always the goal
These day old bread brains are insane in the soul
When the world’s out of control... im gaining control
you can hate on me while you wait in the cold
The gray card and I'll just need a moment for y'all to take your eye off the ball
For a cuckoo to Kick it and your seed fly off the wall
The future whizzes by and dies from the fall
Other guys saw, expressed surprised and gall
While reaction speed matched human babies learning to crawl
They pride themselves on birdseye view that rise from the floor but their survival instincts make them the size ofHow I look at the horizon above the tides in the squall
I'm a headhunter, match a cuckoo client to correct egg color
I’m outdoorsy. Like Jack Dorsey
Moment mom go on a break, We switch eggs, she come back to lay and curl her legs under
What's that splattered the egg on the ground? Not hers she hopes
Besides she's here to stay with her egg held close
On the day it hatches finally to her dismay it hits notes
She don't recognize and surprise the cuckoo came back to slap her out her nest
I'm the gray cardinal and I do what I do best
I'm the one who caused a fog when her egg first flew from home
I'm the one who caused consternation only by neighbors who saw her also thrown
Make no skull and bones about it eminent domain exists in nature
And just cause you see say or hate the game don't make you a major player
Chorus
I'm the grey cardinal
In an arbor full of birds eye view
Where one who fade from view, hardest to kill
Grey cardinal
Play number two to da cuckoo
Whose new eggs look like yours do
So we pull switcheroo
When ours hatch (natch) we don’t need you no more
join your last ones, a rotten egg on forest floor

I fixed the riddle while you mixed up little chicks sit around and fiddle with your dicks
I even take credit when your effort to solve problems exposes rippled risks
I studied all the greats and create cripples with real politics
I got unpublished books of simple tricks
These chicken shits
Fall for anything
What they do
Insufficient
Hit upside the head w instant limits
They can sniff Eucalyptus
Witness brutal incision thru
Nuchal liquids
We eliminated crucial clinics
Don't misconstrue your bride eye view for noodle thickness
It's too ridiculous
Blow your house in like you were piglets
The calm is coming from inside the house
From inside your skin
An inch wide, vamos
