Scenic Route
Posted on February 2, 2023 by Raven McShan
Birds don’t fly in Birdsville
Bullets tweet in the evenings
Singing in the morning
Take the shortcut through to home
Poverty living on privilege’s doorstep
Birds killing kids living
With kidney stones
From the blacktop basketball game
They had for dinner last night
But at least there’s enough light
For homework tonight
Birds, cars, people pass away
And children wonder if
They could fly away too
