Birds in the Wind
I think the world couldn’t be flat
Till I’m on the edge,
I think all days should be good ones
Like how all people should have beds
I think we are like birds in the wind
We chirp, laugh, we soar, travel,
Yet when it’s time to head south, wings feel like gravel.
We are driven by our patrons, to go in twos,
To get good grades
To tie and keep clean shoes
To always be nice
Remember not to eat the glue.
These values are preached
However irregularly learned,
Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad,
If the whole world burned.
There’s a saying that
Ignorance is bliss,
It’s funny how I don’t have time for acts
But the greener grass is missed.
