Bird

A Poem by Arlen

What is it about that one bird that flies away from the flock?
Maybe it's finally flying free after removing the block
Why is that bird not like the rest?
Maybe it thought that it was for the best
Why is that bird just thinking of itself first?
Maybe it felt it was enclosed in a bubble that had to be burst
So I don't get it what is the bird trying to say?
Maybe it was telling us not to let our ego stand in our way
But wait that's not the case with me
Maybe it's that you don't want to really look and see
I guess I never looked at it in that perspective
Maybe you should of asked more questions like a good detective
I ask questions you don't know who I am
Maybe it's that attitude not the door that needs the slam
So this bird does it consider itself wise?
Maybe but I know it saw a vision of a population in demise
I don't understand the bird or its use of word
Maybe because in life you truly never really heard.
