Birds


Matthew 6:26 New English Translation (NET Bible)

26 Look at the birds in the sky: They do not sow, or reap, or gather into barns,

 yet your heavenly Father feed them. Aren’t you more valuable than they are?

 

 

Quirking birds knowing their day, but still reside in darkness

 A cloth covers their cage and they don’t like it a bit

There is too much to say for them to remain in quietness

For they know every page in the book of “Life’s Truth”

 

Now I removed the cover as the quirking slows to screeching

Two birds here together getting into an argument

Maybe the chapters covered in the book that they’re preaching

Are also about sin’s matters in relations of offense

 

Birds of a feather surely flock and fall together

Folks with one goal wind up in a similar hole

Fruits of a different kind have a fruitcake as a matter

Politicians with a smile remind me of a hyperbole
