• Can you see the bird with the scar on her face?
    It’s where they took her voice away.
    Can you hear her trilling call?
    Now see her feathers, trampled on the floor.
    How can you look into her eyes?
    How can everything be denied?
    Do you see her little nose?
    Do you see her worn-down claws and toes?
    Can you see her scattered seed?
    Water’s what she really needs.
    How can you just pass on by?
    Like so many others, even when she cries.

    God loved birds and created trees- standing thick and high and tall.

    Man loved birds and created cages- look what he’s done to them all.
