A Singing Bird

A man shot a multicolor singing bird, 
Some women who were hearing the song felt bad, 
Some police officers arrested and hit him so bad 
His mother screamed loudly ,
 his grand mother failed badly. 

The singing bird died, 
The women were so bored,
The shooter was charged, 
Her mama paid, 

His grandmother kicked the bucket,
A basket player was sorry on his way to play basket,
The women and the police officers   regretted for her death, 
The shooter and her mama were so confused because of her depart,

Paramedics were so late at the  scene place, 
Some people came closer to comfort them 
He asked himself "how could the singing bird departed 
    with my grandmother? 
Was she incarnating in the bird? 
Did I kill my granny  , really?" 
He learned to not kill innoncent Birds
