The Bluebird and the Fly

Nature makes its own decisions It decides who lives or dies Like the hunger of a common bluebird Who's driven by her baby's cries Now even the housefly will do the same Driven by its hunger, they seek Trying its best to avoid its doom By way of the bluebird's beak Somewhere soon their paths will cross And the strong will devour the weak Nature's design, cannot be broken And the housefly's future looks bleak Then out of the sky, lightning strikes As the bluebird falls to the ground A naked power line decides her fate And the housefly's feast, has been found It's funny to see how nature works Pondering while wondering why Things are nothing like they appear Like the bluebird and the fly
