Sparrows

Two tired sparrows on a tiny ashen branch

Chirping tiredly .. it's not dusk as yet

So lively at the break of dawn

"Kalipuja" crackers will soon break their placid revelry

The don't bother if its Christmas or "Diwali"

Can't afford to lose sleep.... must awake at dawn

Search for food ,screech in joy in the new morn

Don't bother for concrete house

No hatred,no love,no greed,no grouse


Don't expect warmth from an iceberg

Or cool breeze from a raging fire

Moods swing from fire to ice, hot then cold

Years drift by till you become old

Iceberg heart melts .. angry fire turns to gold

Shining with wisdom,knowledge,praying for ignorance

You can't utter your mundane views

The Gennext don't want to see you in the news


Run away melted heart .. put grime on the shine

Be happy with your role and sip nature's wine

Author's Notes/Comments: 

For CEVance a lover of Nature and ode to his nice celestial thoughts. Play the role or pay the price dearly. Thanks for reading my works and boosting my self-esteem.Kalipuja and Diwali are celebrated during end Oct or early Nov. People light fireworks some with high decibel sound which disturbs birds and pets. No one cares for them.. unfortunate

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
