I
Beautiful feathers
Dazzling the world in beauty
Die like the uglies
II
They can fly like planes
Dive in the sky like fishes:
Still die like uglies
II
They can bless the sky
With melodies so soothing:
They die like uglies
III
The order won’t change
They will die like the uglies
No matter their tricks
IV
They can be shot dead
They can be killed by sickness
Just like the others
V
Nature will never
Discriminate, your time comes
And you leave sadly
VI
So I’m serving right
My time is precious to me
Please serve your own time
VI
Live, love and fly high
Like the beautiful voiced birds
So you will be missed

Nature serves as we do. Beauty is in nature as we are beautiful. There will always be uncertainty as to what life will bring. All time is perilous and shouldn’t be wasted. But life will replace what life takes. It’s sad to loose a life. I’ve seen the lost. Yet I know that the sadness is the seas new to shore
