sparrows are like us

The sparrows are like us
fell from the dry, hot sky, first the male
sparrows, be because he was older than her
and had developed a habit of hunting near
the large chimneys at the chemical factory
and it was up to the young widow
she had been a fledgling the year before
to feed and bring up five hungry chicks
and if the weather was not cooling
she to would fold her wings and fall on
the bonnet of a passing car, snakes
and ugly beings would move in for the kill
The famous actor Omar Sharif has passed 
he will be remembered, but no the demise
of a family of sparrows are forgotten not
be missed in the lottery of life
