Birds Flying Over An Empty Meadow

the black birds 
flying over the meadow
filled with wild flowers
in a spring day
are lonely

they are looking for their friends
the humans who alas are no more
the birds don’t know what happened
they are birds after all

but they know 
the cities are quiet
and all the humans are gone 
where they went 
no one knows or cares

and so humanity fades away
into the dustbin of history
yet another master race
alive no more
