BIRDS DO WHY NOT US (Poem)
BIRDS DO WHY NOT US
Cardinals, canaries, blue
jays, and pigeons
Penguins, ostriches, ducks,
and geese
Robins, pelicans, turkeys,
and chickens
Swans, flamingos, storks, and
owls
Parrots, eagles, hawks, and
buzzards
Crows, seagulls, herons, and
peacocks
Falcons, sparrows, doves, and
cuckoos
There are so many birds so
many species
So many colors so many shapes
So many sizes some with
feathers others with none
And still they live in
harmony
No hating no demeaning no
talking down
They have accepted their
beauty
And those of other birds
They do not feather shame
each other
Some fly and some do not
They do not believe one is
better
If birds can be beautiful and
wonderful
As diverse as they are
Why cannot humans see the
same?
Just as birds come in
different shapes
Sizes and colors
Humans do as well and still
Are beautiful
Like the crane, the
passerine, and the sandpiper
There is no human more
important
More better
More superior to another
Birds function without hate
It’s time humans do the same

OTHER SIDE”
