we can heal but.....

The humming birds have grown
It's over 3 weeks tails have lengthened
Yet in the cage tweeting all day
For the parenting birds to know
"We are here in the cage"
The feeding non stop
The parenting birds fly in
The loud chirping and flapping wings
The eagerness to chase for the food
With all the tweeting sound
They attract the cats
One grey cat is trying
Today jumping on the flower pot
Hoping to pull down the cage
The parenting birds signal
The birdies hold still without movement
It is the standard operating procedure
"Play dead when face danger"
When cat is chased away
The birdies will start tweeting again
The incident the birdies forget
As if nothing has happened
If only humans can easily forget
The nightmares and evil treatments
From the government and police
And march on to enlightened life
We never could
The pain and memories too hard to forget
We need change to pursue redemption
By changing government we find our solace
