The Bird

Did not the Bird,
warn us, by his airs?
Fewer by day...more by
night – the owls survive
longer! Did not rodents
warn us?  Depleted by
owls, they both now suffer.
Better men open their eyes
to Light – for, even swooping
shadows, will not long survive
such night….

The birds and animals are able to discern the signs of time. But we humans don't learn anything or care to pay heed to their warnings. A meaningful poem in your signature style, dear Joe.

Thank you, Valsa; what's the old saying? You can take a jackass to water, but you can't make him drink...people have allowed the devil to transform them into jackasses. I join you in prayer.
