Birds [III: A Third Bird in Tainted Air]
Going around
Flying she was
A bird in an environment
-
Circling overhead
Only she saw
Saw everything happening
-
It wasn't only
Only her
Others too could see
-
Others could see what happened
But she understood
Of all of them
-
Of all the eyes
Just hers understood
Understood the problems
-
What was breaking
What they were doing to the place
How it was being destroyed
-
How the grass died
Through her eyes
As if comparing
-
Comparing a hawk to an elephant
Only she had the advantage
But it was hardly an advantage
-
Others could see
But they refused to see
To understand those masks to see clearer
-
There were masks
Only they were tainted
With a power
-
Power for power
Just her wished it to stop, and they
Also wanted too
-
Others
There, them
Seeing the tainted air
Flying she was
A bird in an environment
-
Circling overhead
Only she saw
Saw everything happening
-
It wasn't only
Only her
Others too could see
-
Others could see what happened
But she understood
Of all of them
-
Of all the eyes
Just hers understood
Understood the problems
-
What was breaking
What they were doing to the place
How it was being destroyed
-
How the grass died
Through her eyes
As if comparing
-
Comparing a hawk to an elephant
Only she had the advantage
But it was hardly an advantage
-
Others could see
But they refused to see
To understand those masks to see clearer
-
There were masks
Only they were tainted
With a power
-
Power for power
Just her wished it to stop, and they
Also wanted too
-
Others
There, them
Seeing the tainted air
