Today I came across a beautiful bird
It started talking to me; how absurd
He said people are so caught up in strife
Not enjoying the simpler moments of life
No longer as a people do we feel deep joy
Children no longer making their own toys
We sit them in front of cable television
Wondering why hate is all they can envision
Eating fast food from boxes in microwaves
We truly wonder why we are early to the grave
Doctors get paid extra to make us addicts
Pain and suffering is running so tragic
This gorgeous bird hopped onto my shoulder
Him and I chatted of life's huge boulders
He said people used to simply cover their ****
Now we are selfish over the almighty coin
Days are gone of fresh food from our gardens
Now we are just a lost society hardened
We talked about how nobody looked at the stars
No more fantasy only dreams seemingly so far
We wondered why we were far from the norm
Why people cannot sit to enjoy a perfect storm
The bird and I came to the conclusion
That compassion and love are just an illusion
How much longer before this insanity stops
Before our life burdens are too heavy to drop
The bird chirped a little music in my ear
He told me I have nothing in this world to fear
My eyes were open I could truly see
The beauty of what spirit provided me
Grateful of blessings and gifts given to us
In angel spirits my soul will always trust
My little bird, sadly he soared up and above
But not before he embraced me in total love
I will never forget this little bird
Nor the kindness to me of his word
