Dead on Arrival
Migratory Birds Dying by the 1000s Warblers Western Wood Pewee Fly Catchers Bluebirds Blackbirds Sparrows —sorrow Stumbling dumbly Into the streets Hit by cars Falling Out of Trees 🌳 Starved Of nutty energy Not enough fuel to complete A journey taken too soon… For fires 🔥 raged And burned their homes Smoke fills the air And burns their lungs Away away away away Into the dry desert sun Only to keel over Mid-way through their run It’s not the apocalypse Yet, one might blame…the devil Climate change with dead bird denial!
