The flightless bird

The flightless bird

A birds purpose; to fly

But what ever should they do?

If they cannot graze the blue of the sky?
Not dance upon the clouds in a winged pattern

Shall the people start to cry
For that one cursed crow that cannot fly?

As the great auk sits idly by

Day by day
Upon the barren ground

and looks to the sky and thinks

"Why.. why.. why?"

The people only love the birds who fly.






















The great auk also doesn't fly because it's extinct, but that isn't relevant.
