Simple Birds

Simple Birds.

Some would say that frivolity is necessary to life.

A crucial piece of a

Puzzle.

Their multicolored plumage of obnoxious hue,

Trying to please…

“who”

?

Some are somewhat acceptable,

Minor in hue,

Not SCREAMING at you.

LOOK AT ME

I’M SO COLORFUL

WHAT DO YOU THINK?!

(to be perfectly honest, you make me want to go puke)

(…in a sink…)

Bright orange beak,

Laughing loudly,

Discriminate

Proudly,

For they know it all and we know none.

Or maybe tis I,

But I sincerely hope I am not the only

One…

one?

Therefore

I am not a scarlett McCaw,

Nor a psychedelic parrot,

Nor a blue bird,

Not a gleaming yellow canary,

Nor a cockatoo.

NO.

I am none of them.

I am simple birds.

I am an owl,

A modest owl, nonetheless,

Or a cooing white mourning dove,

A facetious crow,

A somewhat nihilistic raven,

A chickadee,

A black bird,

Beautiful,

Yet so very common.

Then again,

Perspective is everything…

Nevermore,

I vow never to be

The cawing,

Drawling,

Attention

-

whore.

For simple birds

While not the brightest

Nor wisest

Nor worshipped-est.

No.

I am none of that.

I am simply put,

No strings attatched,

Simple birds.

And one day,

All simple birds

(hopefully)

Fly away.

To heaven

Hell

Or anywhere in between

For better or for worse,

(all life ends with a hearse)

Simple Birds.

They’re the best birds.

Definitely the best birds…

I’m not the only one,

Perhaps second to none,

But they’re out there,

I’m sure of it.

And one day,

They will rise.

And along with the

Simple Birds

Will also rise

Simple Melody

Simple Harmony

Simple Togetherness

Simple Acceptance

Simple Love

Simple Care

Simple Brotherhood

Simple Sisterhood

Simple Explanation

(Without bigoted gods)

(Or false heroes hung on the cross)

(No Satan below,

No heaven above)

Simple Life

Simple Heart

Simple Kindness

Simple Humanity

A bite of fresh bread

Shared

Savored

With all those around you

No more war

No more hate

No more yelling

Clean Slate.

Simple Creativity

Simple Dreams

Simple Wonder

Simple Imagination

From a child’s eyes,

Finally recognized

By once closed minded,

Lost causes…

Simple Endless Possibilities.

Simple Birds

Will rise.

With love,

Unity,

Happiness.

Simple Birds.

Fly Free.

No Bounds.

Just Clouds

…Bright white, enveloping dark light…

Peace.
