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
