Exotic Birds

the only things
i see flying these days
are the cockroaches

there are plenty of exotic birds
they are a different species
each possess
richness and uniqueness
that decorate the vast sky

such a pity
they cannot fly
and the only songs
they chirp are the blues

oh these exotic birds
have hopes and dreams
but the sleepy bugs accompany them
it's a shame
that's the way
the vultures
always operate

after all
those exotic birds are a different species
they are caged

i am drawing blank
until i can fly
among the cockroaches
