The Sparrow
Thump!
Something fell in the garden
With my electric chair
I went to investigate
Then there in the sand
It was a bird barely alive
With a fatal wound to the head
Without knowing it I grabbed it
And raced with to the vet
Against oncoming traffic
I was frantic
I got the gate closed
The caretaker was on the inside
I told him to open the gate
For I have a seriously injured bird
He said that he was sorry
They don’t take care of birds at all
I was devastated
The sparrow died on my lap
On my home I was mad
Because of my country that
Is still a developmental state?
It sucks to spend some time in the third world
I buried the sparrow in the backyard
He was a tough little fellow
Rest in peace my friend the sparrow…
