Where People Go Crazy
I am only a bird
But I have seen it time and time again
What is wrong with you humans?
Birds are so much smarter than you think
Birds can talk we chose not too
My fellow birds told me don't do it
I thought I would break the code of silence
If I tell you once and for all
Maybe you will understand
If I tell you too much at once
You will probably get all choked up
Birds never have that problem
You haven't probably noticed
We eat constantly
We never I repeat never choke
Maybe it's a people thing
You are too busy doing what people do
Causing riots in the streets
Destroying buildings and hurting people
Someone has to do something about it
I guess you will never learn
So this bird will have to take a stand
I am sure you will probably screw this all up too
Before you know it you will be taking down all great bird statues
Good bye Bald Eagle
You all have a lot of things wrong with you
Wearing masks everywhere you go
I have news for you
You spoiled Halloween for me
Forever
It's no fun if you hide your face every day
When it comes to getting sick or worse dying
You people freak all out
Us birds
Live with it
Long before you
Have you heard of 1996?
You were too busy hyping up George Orwell's 1984
He is a nice guy and all
But between you and me
He didn't deserve all that credit
Does the year ring a bell?
I am not talking about 1776?
Where have you been living under a rock?
The bird flu
Birds were dying
Thirteen thousand before we got it under control
You didn't see us flying all crazy
Keeping social distance
We kept on doing what we are best at
Being incredible and lovable
We get up every morning and sing
You don't hear us moaning and groaning
So if you get the chance to read this
Look out your window or open your door
The birds will help you
Give you a few good pointers from time to time
You do know
We have beaks for a reason
Not to show you, people, up
But to lead you in the right direction
Sometimes you get things all wrong
Life is not here just for you
It is here for everybody
Even us birds get into a tiff every so often
It's no big thing
Sometimes one of us has to put their foot down
Someone else tries to hog up all the bird seed
Yes, we have our bullies too
That's a story for another day
You people spend all your time
Arguing and constantly talking
Wasting every second
When you could be singing
Did you think we were born great singers?
I thought you were on the right track
With Ray Charles, John Lenin and Bob Dylan
We practice every day
Once again you people do it all wrong
For beginners you sleep way too much
Us birds get up at the crack of dawn
We don't sleep our life away
We don't watch t.v.
It was called the boob tube for a reason
We know the early bird gets the worm
We have tried to help you over the years
I don't get it
You listen for awhile
Then you think you know it all
Back up buddy
We have known it all from the beginning of time
You want to take credit for everything
We have to draw the line
The birds and the bees was our idea
You stole it
Then you tried to make everyone believe
The wise old owl was your thoughts too
Enough is enough
We appreciate a helping hand
A little bird seed once and awhile
If you notice we get so little and make it last
We don't stock up and hoard
What is it with paper towels and toilet paper anyway?
One last thing
What is with all the sanitizers?
Once again birds do it better
You always see us taking a bird bath
We know you don't wash your hands
We don't want to get sick again
What's every person paranoid?
When was the last time you seen a bird not fly
I am kind of glad you aren't driving and flying everywhere
Just wanted to let you know
Your not that good at it
You would think you would learn from the Wright Brothers
Safety first
You get all bent out of shape
Over the littlest things
We don't wear seat belts
We fly more than you
When was the last time you seen two birds crash
You have to be really stupid
Not to understand
I am not saying anything
But....
I think you should all go back to school
Instead what do you do?
Shut all the schools down
Brilliant
You mock the president and what he does
Are you any better?
We have a saying
Birds of a feather flock together
I will tell you more later
If you will only listen
Instead of shooting your mouth off
Shut your beek
Maybe my fellow birds were right
Your such a bird brain

Chatra Ram We all have our good days and the ones that we want to forget. Sometimes they blend to make a giant mess. It takes us a while to find our way. We have to remember good things take time. It is better to go a little slower than to rush through and not remember anything. Thank you for all your support and comments. I hope your day is going incredible.

John Hansen Wow that took me forever to respond to all my comments. I threw myself into a tailspin and I kept yelling pull up, pull up, and finally, I pulled myself out of it. Not a bad day or week at all. Just busy from morning to nightfall. Trying to get into the swing of things. I wish I was a kid again where all I had to do is jump on the swing set and pump those legs faster and faster. To go higher and higher. As an adult, we have so many opportunities and it is up to us to take advantage of them. Sometimes they just sneak on by. I am eating a few cherries to give me a lift. So sweet they are such a healthy treat. Thank you for all your comments. Have a great day.

Great to read some common sense from a birds eye view, DreamOn. I actually just published a poem called Birds of a Feather, in my Poems From the Porch 35. People are going crazy. They should listen to the birds.
