The Bluebird and the Fly

  Nature makes its own decisionsIt decides who lives or diesLike the hunger of a common bluebirdWho's driven by her baby's cries Now even the housefly will do the sameDriven by its hunger, they seekTrying its best to avoid its doomBy way of the bluebird's beak Somewhere soon their paths will crossAnd the strong will devour the weakNature's design, cannot be brokenAnd the housefly's future looks bleak Then out of the sky, lightning strikesAs the bluebird falls to the groundA naked power line decides her fateAnd the housefly's feast, is found It's funny to see how nature worksPondering while wondering whyThings are nothing like they appearLike the bluebird and the fly

How sad

That the Bluebird had to die , but I guess that is called the balance of nature. Your poem was well executed , it moved right along. What a twist of fate huh. GOOD Writing Chrys
