Birds cry and beetles sing

by SSBAL   Apr 9, 2005


Birds cry
and beetles sing
of the people--
we used to be

birds cry
and beetles sing
for everything--
i could have been

birds cry
and beetles sing
yet we never win--
not a single sin

birds cry
and beetles sing
of pink sunsets--
and the tears which paint them

birds cry
and beetles sing
together they stay--
for always they'll say

birds cry
and beetles sing
of never looking back--
and for staying here today

birds cry
and beetles sing
for the losses we have suffered--
and the pain we went through

birds cry
and beetles sing
they will never stop--
they can go now til ever

birds cry
and beetles sing
we shall join them--
its certain to be

~~ to every1 thats lost some1 dear, or themselves, the birds shall cry and the beetles will sing for you and who you are to be ~~

    So touching! Its one of those poems you have to read two or three times to make sure you have the full meaning, and that's how it should be. Amazing work!
    Take care,
