A Bird's Eye And Heart View Poem by Narayanan Ramakrishnan
A Bird's Eye And Heart View
I am a roamer, hoping from tree to tree,
Morning to evening, with friends, all glea;
Fruits and nuts at our beaktip, no need to plea,
Rivers and lanes all below, no worries, care free.
I can see men jostling in the streets, buzzling.
Rain or shine, they all, but time not stilling,
Scheming for 'morrow, buying and selling,
Grains, greens, meat, sweets and many hankering.
I can see at this height, a corner, cages with my specie full,
I can feel their agony and their yell
For freedom to fly high from the cell
Unknowing, they are only a good, up for a sell.
The two legged specie spares none.
Fish deep in the sea or birds high in the sky
Flowers on the lane and any fruit they hand upon,
All for them and we beggers at their mercy, high.
Some of them feed us and decorate the cages,
They do trifle things to amuse their childrens,
Bigger birds, they love, but still, kill and eat
But if they presume, threat any, they mull to cull.
You get in the 'eye' and 'heart' of a bird to show us life from other perspective.You presented freedom of nature and the limited world of humans.The fight of species for life, you expressed it in such great scenery, so amazing details that escape to us, to the people in daily life...Cristina Teodor
If this a real bird eyes then how human can feel about ourself? :) i mean this is great idea to point out our daily life by the eyes of other...creative and i like this piece it gave new sight of view :) ...Empowerment of observing sometimes reveal more hidden things, discover a real taste of reality as this 'bird' tell...we never see how we can see in our view..this poem is great example, it was like we never can see how people see/think about us when we walking, doing something, our behavior, our communication...we may see we are okay but same like when we see another person we may say this guy is good, bla bla bla mea we view other...so when the 'bird' see human is like this so is that good to keep this or we need to improve it? ...what i can say well done.nice words-Unwritten Soul
It is a great poem showing sympathy for helpless and downtrodden. But those who at higher resting places should try to bail them out of their miserable lot. Great imagery. Thanks for sharing.
We visualize different sections of the society in this well knitted poem.The helplessness of people is exposed using great imagery. Nice.
I relish this poem/ alluring penning/ A wonderful theme/Top marks! !
Absolutely great! A great advocate for birds! Congrats and thanks.
A great theme penned excellently. It shows the poet's concern for the environment especially birds and also portrays the darker side of us mortals as seen through the eyes of a bird that has been given human values. A very creative piece indeed!
