You Must Understand The Mockingbird
at night
the mockingbird still
haunts her
it's nature is to mock
to imitate
it cannot get away from it
otherwise
it dies
otherwise it ceases to be
one good mocking bird
you must understand
nature
there are those who live
to copy
because they are born to be
that way
if you get irritated
by the mockingbird
that becomes
your own responsibility
pity,
soon you will cease
pity
the mockingbird shall sing
a funeral song for you
if not write an elegy.
