Poem
A bird lays an egg She keeps it warm It starts to crack And it hatches, during a heavy storm It was a beautiful Lorrikeet You could tell mother bird was proud So out of her own happiness She joyfully tweeted aloud Time to fly, little Lorrikeet Mother Bird encourages him So he jumps off the tree And swoops through the sky like a queen bee On a quiet night A van pulls up to the tree A shadowy figure scales it well And he was tranquilized, faster than you could to five Daybreak in a pet shop He was in a cage, that's all Lorrikeet knew Surrounded by a rainbow of birds Name a bird and It was in view The other birds learnt of Lorrikeet's intelligence But then they bullied him for it Lorrikeet grew depressed There was no bird to make him not want to throw himself in a pit So Lorrikeet was trapped Trapped in a cruel world of hate One day he'll be free But there is no specified date But then a little girl walked into the Pet store But like anyone her age, she was looking at the puppies Little girl asked Mum for a pup, but she said no But then the tears roll down her face, What a sad show Then something is spied in the corner of her eye The beautiful Lorrikeet looking out of the glass cage The little girl runs up to the cage and admires the beauty of the birds Which are staring at the girl like one giant herd The little girl decided for ages Deciding which bird. There were cages and cages But then Lorrikeet tweeted. Oh It was beautiful like a flute The Little girl said it was a lovely toot And so Lorrikeet was chosen Chosen to be taken home by this sweet innocent child Lorrikeet was happy to leave the cage of sorrow He'll be playing with bells and eating the finest seed this time tomorrow I wrote this poem to teach that through the hardship of bullying, victims can go on to live long fulfilling lives. Which is the only thing that keeps my head high :)
