Yesterday a Bird Died

Yesterday a bird died

I saw it drop from the sky

I saw it hit the ground

I saw it die

Yesterday a bird died

And the worm carried on

It got to enjoy his day

Because the bird was gone

Yesterday a bird died

And it's only a little sad

What hurts the predator

Makes the prey glad

Yesterday a bird died

There were parties thrown

But also memorials

For the path not flown

Yesterday a bird died

I watched as he fell

To some he's in heaven

To others he's in hell
