Figuers

Watch the sparrows fly in the sky
Up and up they go soaring so high
Wherever they go His eye sits over them. 

But the sparrow looks for rest
On the endless green trees below
None can he find to sit or sleep

Her wing grows ever tired
She continues to stoop through the sky
Only to find the forest and sea are no more

The sparrow and other wonderful beasts 
Look for some shade to escape
From the scorching atoms of the day

Soon or later the dear sparrow vanishes
Becomes a historical figure of some science book
Just another of the many creatures that are just now......

                                 Figures of some science book
