Benevolence

Little bird trapped in tar
Sinks slowly
Wings buckling
Little lungs full of songs
Torn apart
Heart failing
Will benevolence reach her now?
Light burns her dying eyes
Too late, too late
Comes the cry
Little voice left to wait
Tune fading
Mind crumbling
Little bird caged in death
Feathers falling
Colours pitching
Will benevolence resurrect her?
Little bird deserts the sky
Too late, too late
Comes the cry
