A day in the life of LIFE

A sunny morning, it once was,
When a couple came knocking by,
Looking, they were, for a place to stay,
When many in the process had turned them away...

Like others, I refused them permission
Having in my mind a lot of apprehension,
They still persisted in any case,
Till I slammed the window in their face.

I forgot about them, but few days later,
I was woken up by the couple’s banter
Without my knowing, They had forced their way
And were lodged in my house to my dismay.

Out, Out , I cried aloud : He said:
Please my friend don’t make a sound,
I am expecting my children to see the world,
Once they arrive I shall leave your surround.

Alright, I said in a grumpy voice,
But make sure they don’t make a noise,
For I am a man who likes my peace
And no one takes the space within my reach

Days passed and so did the seasons,
The couple smiled, for they had a reason,
The little ones, into the world had made their foray,
But before long their world was in disarray.

As I sat resting by my chair,
Fell something as soft as a hare,
The little one lay on the ground,
With the whole world spinning around.

My heart cried out for the little pigeon in pain
For he fell from the attic like a drop of rain,
In his quest for flight, the little one had died,
My feathered tenants who saw this deeply cried.

That was the instant that I realized,
That humans though are highly priced
Lack the basic trait of simplicity,
How far would they go in this world of hypocrisy ???
