A robin pecks at the ground.
An Earth Worm mistakes it for rain.
I look on sadly, feeling the poor worm's pain.
he wiggles out of the ground towards his grave.
If there was a way to save
the poor little worm; I would.
The tears are coming, I'm about to cave.
For it isn't fair You came like rain.
But you chewed me up and spit me out.
Filled my hollow mind with doubt.
I shout out to the void.
But I think nothingness is getting annoyed, You know?
The Robin fly's off with the Earth Worm.
It was such a Lovely show.
