Mockingbird

A little bird dancing on the tree

He hops, he leaps, he sings beautifully 

Sings for the bright lovely day 

Sings for his poor little lady 

Who seem so nice and unhappy. 

 

Then he fell 

Hard and cold collided to the ground 

'Cause the happy chirp lead the beast 

'Cause when he sings he still

Bare and free 

And so vulnerable 

So he fell for his "sorry". 

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Well, I just finished reading the "To kill a Mockingbird" and since it's not my mothertongue, I'm afraid that i don't understand fully its beauty. But I'm still deeply touched by it, by the bare truth it told. 

 

Here it's a poem for the poor Tom Robinson, who was condemned his temerity to feel sorry.
