We love you For more than one reason For your determination In trying to stay Against all odds A mind-set so resilient To fly and fight your way
In a human jungle Keep it going Our avian friend I hope you succeed To retain yourself All you need Is a little corner
But… Our mindless structures Have little to offer. In the past… You made our house A home Perched on a tree Or a plant Waiting for a spillage In our courtyards Have we broken A chain? To snatch your grain?
We have stopped Seeing you… Our dwellings rise But so, must we So that you live To fly and fly!
Madhavi Godavarthy ji.Thanks.It's a very nice poem tribute to "Goarya bird" who dwells near our houses and trees,a very innocent bird,but alas! it is disappeared these days due to construction of packed houses.There no place to make nest to live there herself & lay eggs.So Very Sorry I am.
