Freedom Take Aways

 

I hear birds on our roof
taking a break from the sky
as they rest their tired bodies

on a space unoccupied

We fall back on the technicality
that these winged intruders

are trespassing on our property

Their very presence

is an affront

to we pearl clutching occupants

living well within this residence

Surely these weary aliens

must be here illegally
so we call the iron hand of authority
to take away and cage

these feathered trespassers
and make our shelter exclusive again
