the circle of life


The humming birds fly
Low to the palm trees
Back to the bamboo
In the late evening fall

Camouflage by the bamboo leaves
The humming birds think it is safe
Holding on to the branch
Time to dream....

The stray cats will jump in
Eyes searching for food to eat
Sometimes the cats chase lizards
Sometimes it is the small birds

A humming bird on the ground
It is left with its head to tell
One bird isn't lucky to stay alive
The stray cat gets one for the meal

It is the cycle of life
The weak will suffer
The strong will take flight
The poor will cry; the rich will smile
