PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

We are but birds

pecking aggressively and

fighting over stale bread.



Here, the most assertive

satisfies their hunger,



squawking at the others

to fly away and find

another hand

to feed them.



So, we move on

looking for more crumbs.

Once we spot

a new provider,



we coax them to

give us mere morsels

of their meals,

showing them our need

for nourishment.



Upon obtaining the crumbs,

we chew them up

into even smaller,

more digestible pieces,



afraid to choke on them

if we swallowed them

whole.
