Birds on the Nest

There was a bird's nest in the tree

There's only a sister to the other three

They barely chirp in glee, 

At times, they may but will just end suddenly

 

When mother and father are away

A commotion will start without any delay

You'll hear brother birds chirp angrily

And little sister bird in a sad melody 

 

Brother birds are always rude

They hurt her whenever they could

Sister bird always get bruised

But telling their parents, she never would

 

She'll just let out those pains to a cry

With the thoughts of asking 'why? '

She'll say a prayer into the skies

As tears shed down from her eyes

 

One day, sister bird's patience got exhausted

She finally hit back big brother bird

With tears in her eyes, she yelled

'When you're old, I'll never help you when you're in need! '

 

Brother bird got angry and shouted

'You want to be killed! '

Furiously she answered

'Then make sure you left me dead! '

 

Time passed and the little birds have grown, 

She decided to fly away from home

Never afraid to live on her own

She's determined to be alone

 

Through the dark, through the storm

She's able to carry on

Though not having a shoulder to lean on

Sister bird has grown too strong

 

Through betrayals, through troubles

She stood by her principles

Her fighting spirit is unstoppable

She seemed to be unbreakable

 

After years of  doing  her best

She went back to visit that nest

Sister bird has now earned success

While brother birds are still in mess

 

She's supposed to be happy

Isn't this what she wanted to see? 

Brother birds to beg for her mercy? 

Yet her heart is filled with pity

 

She helps them when they're in need

A contradiction to what she has said

She can never be mean as they did

So sister bird just write it as a poem instead

Birds on the Nest:

 

 

What an enchanting story inlaid into your poetry. I realy enjoyed reading this poem and liked the rhyming.  I also liked the moral of the story, in not being absorbed by hate and helping the other birds in trouble, hopefully a lesson they learned too.
