I Wish I Were a Bird

I woke up this morning
with birds: seemed like fighting,
I could imagine the worms
minced and melted in their nebs.

Their living is superb,
they can fly, they can touch the sky
and dive to catch
the tiny mantes and flies.

This wonderful world
is full of complexity
the goal of life can kill,
the body and soul
are sold to evil because of cupidity.

Lick and suck to ty people,
until they lose their integrity,
their trait and faith fade
all turmoils emerge.

One day they'll wake up,
on the platform full
of venoms, values are gone
their pith is in ill.

They can't change
and cure their lifestyle
due to the ruthless
in their blindfolded eyes.

I wish I were just a bird
that could freely reach
the rainbow,
without seeing
those hazardous beings
that could stop my breathing.
