An old bird in a nest
An old bird in a nest
---------------------------
It wad too aged and sick
which lied in a dead end of that nest
None cared to it's prey and its needs
It was deserted by it's own blood
They are in the hands of youth and
their care is only to feed their own youngs
They feel ,that no use from that old and
it's death results nothing great loss
Such selfish thought drives them to desert that dear
Yes.
It was very dear and received everything from him
Now ?
It was a burden to them
It decided
to commit suicide to put an end to it's miseries
It has perfectly done and left some feathers in that nest
Not only few feathers and a lesson too
Oldage is no only for it
It will come to all as a sleep and hunger
