...the one about the bird

there was a busy, little bird
who was never satisfied
it ate and ate the joys of others
it ate so much it died

you shouldn't eat such joy you see
when it doesn't belong to you
the bird it seems was ignorant
it lacked that simple truth

misery is all around
so much of it to spare
happiness, true joy in life
is scarce most everywhere

if you find joy, glad tidings too
and love above it all
don't eat it all from its rare source
for doom's your eventual reward

you'll never be full or half content
if you eat greedily
from life's reserves of peace and love,
joy and harmony

to the rest of greedy birds
let this warning be your last
stop eating of this joyous soul
or
i'll get in that ___!!!


Dedicated to all those intent on consuming all of the joys of other people to feed their own never ending misery and discontent. STOP STUFFING YOUR FAT FACE!!
