Life Chirps On Joyfully

in a war-wounded city,
   in an ugly crack on the
      burnt wall of a cruelly

         battered brick building,
            is a lovely, fragile nest
               rebuilt again and again

                  and again by one now 
                     joyfully chirping at the
                        smiling, new morning!
