Birds

Why is it
that birds can fly
while our bodies
are so grounded?
Why is it
that they soar the earth
while we are so
confounded?
Evolution is not kind
to give them wings
when we wish to fly
Why is it
we always find
our heads in the clouds?
Foolish minds.
We were not born to fly
nor born to soar
so stop trying to do
what you’re not meant for
Foolish minds,
Foolish words,
with your heads in the clouds
leave that to the birds.
