Poem

Lucky Birds  

                

We see many, many birds,

Many, many varied birds.

They are free in this world;

They are not the slaves of men.

Humans can’t resist their freedom to live.

Birds are self-dependent.

They fly with their wings to rejoice.

They make nests with their own effort.

Trees bear their nests with pride.

They live freely without harming others.

Birds lay eggs in their nests

to give birth to their young ones.

Birds don’t receive any help from others

to nurture them.

Birds fly up and up along the sky

with their own wings.

While they fly up,

they forget hunger and thirst.

There is no anger or ego among them

to conquer anything.

There is no bar or barricade

in their free world.

Birds are happy with whatever they possess.

They wake and sleep,

fly and feed on their own.

They have no laziness or jealousy

in their ways and actions.

Birds…….!

What lucky creatures of the Creator……..!

But human beings are

diametrically opposite to this!

Would greedy and jealous men

learn a lesson of life

from the life of birds?
