7 Yellow Birds

play among the landscape provided

nest within the scenery

light up the dull surroundings

sing songs in delight

act without fear


Until there were 6 yellow birds

Because one yellow bird had too much fun

And all that remains

Is half of his body

And his lively spirit that is passed on


Even in the mourning they play

Unaware of the penalty

Or are they careless and free

Too joyful to be upset


But what is the matter,

there are still six.

Or is that not the problem,

but the fear of danger.
