Is it true
What WCW
Says about nature?
That to copy
It is
Shameful?
Is it shameful
To replicate
The bird’s song?
A perfect
Rhythm that
Dances along
And for generations
Has embellished
Their species
Is it imitation
You are after
To emulate not replicate?
I thought you
Were the
Poet
Seeking after
The Laureate
Admiration of your fellows?
If not a
Song writer
You seek to be?
Then how much
Trouble really
Is the song that’s Free?
Straight from the Sparrow’s mouth
It carries through the morning
And out unto the world
Awaiting your lyrical definition
No need to mention
That your tune
Came from the trees
Or just how soon
Its origins fade from memory?
No, not me
I am thankful for
The songs of nature
I’ll copy more of
Those perfect beats
Laid cross the morning dews
They speak to you
You know
They do
So carry their tune
With you
Across the page
For one day
When you’re old and played
You will thank them for the music that they gave unto you!
