LOVE-BIRDS

Love birds four. All in a cage

they can’t fly afar

we have found a safe haven for them

where they find life comfortable

and worth enjoying.

They need food and water

and we provide them

like we feed our own children.

Sometimes they play,

sometimes they squabble,

sometimes they play pranks,

but they never turn violent.

It is a treat to watch them

playing and squabbling over little,  little things.

They believe in equality

they believe in harmony

they feed one by one

they drink one by one.

Their life is safe in the cage.

Every day we watch them

playing, chirping often talking to each other

in their own language.

Love-birds  are love-birds

wherever they are

what they want most is

safety from cats, dogs and snakes

since they can’t fly afar……
