I am but a small and helpless bird
Unable to even feed your little kids.
I am the bird-- subsisting on water and crumb
I am the bird-- born on farmers' palms.
Near, far-- my chirps are heard
Here, there-- with the air swayed.
Let off the trigger-- birds hunter
I am neither happy nor sad-- confused
Having not enough chirpping and wrabbling.
No longer could I feel breezes.
No longer could I complain about blizzards.
Whenever nature treats me bad
I say "It will get better"
Long have I endured such scenes-- unfair and hard.
I am the bird-- glimpsing from afar out there in the sky
The eagle-- streching his wings and claws
That all fear and follow.
I also glimpse an outsider bird-- hungry and scared
Lost birds- half awake, half asleep
Blown, thrown by the eagle's wing blows
Dancing-- the slaughtering dance.
Let off the trigger-- small birds hunter
keep some bullets to hunt both-- hunted and hunter.
