the birds of different colours




The birds of different colours
They settle on a common nest
High up on the big tree
Tweeting with its agreement

The years nothing happened
Until one egg turns out blue
They hurriedly convene meeting
The loud tweeting and wings flapping

Nobody seems to agree
What to do with the alien egg?
They fight with wings
Blaming each other of indiscretions

The blue egg finally drops
Through the hole in the nest
The birds feet stomping on it
Finally the nest gives way

They stop the bickering
Eyes staring the falling egg
What have we done?
God has mercy on us”
