A Friend, An Enemy

A friend, An enemy 

Birds singing lovely songs, 

Holding each other in love 

Literally, one has the union. 

Trusting the beloved, 

Realizing they are stony-hearted, 

Pretended you don't exist, 

Your pain means nothing 

Ignorance is their motto 

 

I thought grass was greener  

on the other side 

A desert is where I belong 

No one to rely on, 

No one relies on the bird 

You, yourself, a treasure always 

Self-love and admiration knocks 

 

The bird won't stop singing, 

A heart won't stop pumping blood, 

Strength is the reward, 

Heartless, self-centered is thy enemies 

Cruel world, cruel birds 

Ain't afraid of them anymore 

Strive to be a good bird always.
