Sparrow
No more flocks of sparrows
Covering my grass with brown
Very few song thrushes flying
Or bashing snails on the ground
I have seen a Robin redbreast
And a solitary little Wren
But I don’t think I’ll ever see
So many wild birds again
Their habitat has been pillaged
More staple crops to grow
The deadly sprays kill insects
That they feed on don’t you know
But it doesn’t end there
The little wild birds plight
Other cultures use sticky branches
To trap them in the night
And our favourite moggies
Deplete the numbers too
Killing wild birds every day
For something fun to do
Let’s try to stop our pets
Making some species extinct
Put bells around our moggies necks
To make them go chink chink
