Miner-Bird Poem by Matthew Holloway
Miner-Bird
The miner-bird
Appears content in his little world
Watching beyond the bars and whistling
Wanting for nothing except
The food, water, shelter provided
After all beyond the bars
Appears darkness, cold darkness
The smell of death and the dying
Still he whistles always
Unnoticed by all in their daily activities
Wanting for nothing still
He has all he needs and wants
And whistles a silent song
Unheard by all until
It stops
