the reality show

The strong wind blowing
Bending palm and bamboo trees
Swaying in every direction
Then the rain fall

Beating it through
Causing wet on sliding doors and porch area
The bird cage swaying
The little birdies looking straight

Flapping wings tweeting endlessly
The parenting birds flying in to feed
Spreading wings tweeting loudly
The happiness registered on the little birdies

Each little birdie trying to get in line
Pushing the others away to get the feed
Only the parenting birds know best
They feed the one they see it first

Rain or shine the parenting birds arrive
Bringing food to feed the little birdies
For weeks they carry on the routine
Until the little birdies have grown

The previous nights the birdies woke
They kept quiet heads popping up to see
No flapping wings no tweeting
Only trying to sense the echo I made

Even I stared at the cage
The little birdies remained quiet
Nothing to tell of predators
The little birdies kept it alone

Today the eldest birdie
It flapped its wings hopping wildly
The other 2 stared at the intrusion
Of sound hitting the metal cage

So night birds can see
When fully grown birds
They will know predators
Preying while they fall asleep

Tomorrow time to let them go
The parenting birds finding hard to search for food
The weather in the afternoon cloudy and gloomy
Insects will not be easy to hunt.........

I observed at evening
The parenting birds flying in to see
Tweeting for the little birdies
They jump wildly so eager to get free

For the past few days
It is the on going parenting feel
Hopping around the bamboo trees
Feeling sad flying to the cage

Peeping at the little birdies
Tweeting for them to get free
The little birdies flapping wings
The happiness sing in the cage

Night fall the parenting birds gone
Leaving the little birdies alone.....
Let them sleep huddling together
Prey there are no predators

The reality show
Prematurely ends tomorrow
If you hear the parenting birds
Tweeting sadly for the little birdies

It is how parents will search
When their children disappear
Finding them going every where
Praying they will be found
