Don't those lies hurt?
Do they sting?
Spread some more
and make our ears ring.
They echo so loudly,
springing right back.
The final blow,
the last attack.
Poisonous songs
leaking from your beak,
from a creature
once found meek.
The poison touching our ears
has no effect.
That was your only
defect.
The poison you sing
shoots through your veins.
I guess that is what
everyone else gains.
The lies you sing
harm yourself.
So now I have a prize
sitting on my shelf.

Written at about 2 in the morning today. It has been three months since I have written a poem, so I am very proud of this one. ^3^

I personally enjoyed the poem 
it is very well written and has a quick pace; keeps you interested till the end. Simple yet effective if I may say. I loved the rhyming scheme, it was natural as well. I had slight problem with the meter at noticeable places; the only one being "defect" stanza. Other than that a really well written work.
