a bird soars free
dipping a gentle wingtip
into pink tinged clouds
the idea of boundaries?
unfathomable
but look
closely now
the flickering bars more apparent
with every glance you give
more bars appear
the bird is frantic now
screaming to the world
does anyone care to save me?
…
no response
hopeless

if your flesh was torn
apart by vicious birds
we would all be the same
on the inside
right?

when will they will able to see
that we are not less than
we are more
the same
equal
is it so hard to understand
that we are all just people
trying to survive?
no.
thrive
on this heartless earth
why cant they grasp the idea of
everyone is worthy
of life
health
safety
it seems we are yet to realise
that one is not more
than the other
equal

who taught you?
that destruction is the way
to get
everything you’ve ever wanted
destruction is
an unforgiving mother
mother?
what kind of mother
encourages
the loss of life
