IF I WERE A BIRD
If I were a bird
I would have opened my wings
to fly high in the blue ocean of endless liberty,
at times I would have descended to this earth
to take a worm or a drop to quench my material hunger,
to fetch aid to my friends,
to talk about higher values.
Again I would have gone up and up
to invade the upper ether
to sense the beauty of heaven.
