X..... The Bird Poem by Aufie Zophy

X..... The Bird

Rating: 3.8


A little bird is flying by
It lands here straight in front of my
So many questions in its eye
My soul is listening or at least would try

“Why the humans, so endowed by God,
Still want to be so cruel to us, birds
Don’t they appreciate what they got?
My brother captured, sister killed, can you explain in words? ”

I try to talk about capitalism and human greed
About loss of morals, unsatisfiable need
But the bird seems not to understand what I say
It gets soon scared and flies away.

This is a poem with a frustrated tone. Some effort and attempt to open up certain level of human might be ending with such disappointing result. Two parties could not understand each other will be a reason of total winning of insatiable greed, desire and rise of the misery and fear. Such a great reflection and well done! ! !

the birds are gods creatures that took to flight, after raining for forty days and nights.

There are so many Questions when it comes to life's vital issues, we humans are sometimes like the little bird in your poem. Can't deal with it. And in frustration, we simply avoid the issues, or 'fly' away.
