Do Song Birds Cry?

Do song birds cry
as humanity dies
amidst hazy skies
I wonder...
sometimes.


Can flowers bloom
when sadness looms
sullen black gloom
I wonder...
do you?


How can nature rest
weapons built their best
destroying society a test
I wonder...
why?


Song birds still sing
humanity still grieves
weapons used to destroy
can society be restored
I wonder...


Silence stalks the skies
songbirds disappear
did they die
or maybe
they do
cry...
I ponder...

I like this. It reminded me of simular thoughts I had (still have) concerning my service in Vietnam.
This work of yours packs a powerful emotional punch.

"Do Song Birds Cry?" -- yes, Zenith, they do, and it is a brittle sound like the gates of heaven burning... wonderfully written poetry, simple and concise and perceptive. Bravo!

Song birds probably do cry, Zenith but as they are crying they are defending their nest against all predators. Nice wordage here but I'm afraid the weapons are not going away. Neither are those that would use them in extreme to disrupt the nest of the song bords.
