The Gentle Bird Weeps

March 23, 2012 /

The gentle bird flies the earth

In search of what is right

It glides among the most beautiful things

But never stays the night

 

Everyone knows this gentle bird

But no one as much as me

The bird; so nice, so naïve

Is trying just to be

 

Except one day a man came by

Killed the bird and had it stuffed

Because that poor little bird

Was just never quite enough

 

So until this very day

While every man earns his keep

If you try hard enough

You hear one little bird start to weep
