Free Bird

We are prisoners

I was driving today;
when I saw a Blue Heron,
by a beautiful lake.

The sun sparkled;
like fireworks on the water,
and the bird fished in peace.

When I saw this it dawned on me,
that man is the only
creature of God’s Creation,
who begs another man for food.

He is the only one,
who is a slave,
for food, water, health,
and a place to dwell.

The heron took off in flight;
majestic in freedom,
to find a new lake.

While we are trapped,
to the whims of fear,
and the power of the Man.


Do you see the reality of the world we live in? This construct ruled by others? It’s a place where we struggle to produce something we never own. Like sheep for the shearer.
