AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A BIRD..

AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A BIRD..

my mother laid me as an egg
the pores on it fulfilled my need
for air n water i didnt need to beg
coz the yolk n proteins catered to my feed

i beaked open the egg soon
my mother was happy too
i was ordinary, not some loon
quickly, i even learned to coo

all us siblings had lotta fun
our mom took lot of care
to bring us food, she used to run
no matter how long, she went there

after having our share
we all used to sleep
the nest was protected, not bare
safe n sound, us it used to keep

i was born to fly
coz i learnt in the attempt first
but my siblings had to try n try
coz their flights were worst

v were grown up now
our ways parted
to live independently how
my mother instructed

she took me close
and told me to be on toes
coz enemies are many
they r not fools, they r canny

i touched her goodbye
and went on to fly
a new adventure was on wait
i was flying - a new gait

how happy i was to find him
v met in the fields of wheat
in my mind, struck a whim
to make him mine, was the heat..

i took the charge
and he flew to me
his built was large
how happy we were gonna be

v mated in the days to come
i was very happy to be his
fights did occur, but just some
chicks, v were all set for this

the day came when eggs i laid
he was happy and overjoyed
food for me, now he made
happily, i smiled n coyed

our happiness was short lived
he suddenly passed away
to get food one day as he flew
he became an eagle's prey...[:(]

i cried and cried n babies i hugged
i had to accept the fact
i couldnt take revenge, this bugged
coz i was too small for the act

my chicks were now ready to fly
i was again goin to be all alone
in his memories alone to cry
tears flowed... the heart did moan

a new year, i found another him
n started to live again
chicks once more with newfound him
for me this was a gain
i was filled with a fresh vim
all my past pain, started to wane

the story so long, so far
makes u think i was finally happy
but now comes the bar
which made our lives crappy

Its uttarayan, the creature called man
is busy with his threads and kites
He doesnt care if his skin gets a tan
He is happy n joyous in his flights

The very day, i went out
to get some food for my young ones
they were too hungry, behaved lout
i literally had to run

the food is in my beak
and i am at quite a peak
ohhhhhhhh what is this thing
my neck is tied with its ring

the food fell down
i have started to bleed
u foolish man of the town
what bout the chicks' feed

the thing, the thread
my body is badly cut
i know i will soon be dead
what bout my family, but...

the scoundrel man, he pulls
my head is gonna be a chop
u devils, u fools
y did u end my hop

my chicks are still waiting
for their mom and the food
i hear my partner's call for mating
from the nearby wood

my last moments are alone too
i cant breathe, i cant say
HUMANS, u will have it too
to HE, this i pray

ur fun has endangered our lives
would u like this done to ur wives?
then why u do this to us
v also have right to live
there is gonna be a stop, in my bus
i have moments only few...

Dear men, aint u wise
Why dont u be a soul nice
I think u never rise
coz u make us pay the price

U take our lives
Us u treacherously kill
we fail inspite of our strives
ur mentality is ill

Is there no one out there
To protect us from the devil
Why God u threw us here
to suffer such great evil ??

the moment's come, i am dying
the babies are still lukin my way
my partner is still flying
hoping, with me he will sway...

good bye my journey was short
coz the HUMAN is very mean
its almost impossible to sort
stop UTTARAYAN, someone who'll wean...

i lie dead, a life's taken
but the human doesnt care
my family will soon be shaken
DO U THINK IT IS FAIR????
