Sparrows Just Like Us

The sparrows just like us 

He fell from the dry, hot sky first the male
sparrows, it could be because he was older than here
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 
folds her wings and fall on the bonnet of a passing car
and snakes and crows would be moving in.
The famous actor Omar Sharif has passed away, he will
 be remembered but as the demise of a family 
of sparrows will like us be forgotten not be missed in
the lottery of life
