The Birds Don't Know

the birds don’t know

what my people just did

their morning song not

a song of mourning


the trees don’t know

that fear and hatred prevail

their leaves on a different mission

to transform and let go


the bees don’t know

a life without altruism

their sisters out seeking

nectar to nourish their mini nation


the sun and moon don’t know

they will rise and they will set but

today is not the same

even if earth remains unchanged


I will sing a song of mourning

I will transform and let go

I will seek nourishment for my nation

I am both changed and unchanged

because I know what they don’t know
