An Old Bird In a Nest

An old bird in a nest It was too aged and sick lying in a dead end of the nest None cared for its prey and its needs It was deserted by its own blood They are in the hands of youth who cared only to feed their own youngs They feel that the old is of no use its death would cause no great loss Such selfish thought deserted the old friend once so dear now a mere burden It decided to put an end to its miseries and committed suicide, some feathers stood witness in the nest; Not only few feathers and a lesson too: the old age and death would come to all, to me and to you.
