As a Bird

Nice view if only it lingers Hmmm catch me? You wish I just crossed bar beach It hasn’t changed a bit Same volume of water and same colour as ever Hope it tastes good too The market is almost getting filled Two more persons and it won’t contain I see those women counting their losses and gain And the robber laying wait beside the paths for their share to get So they reap where they didn’t sow Oh no the fields are on fire I had hoped to break and take my lunch But the farmers have gleaned and carried their bunches Too bad they never had me at heart
