Double-Barred Finch

Feathers like molten silk 

Covered the double-barred finch

Beauty praised its claws

As it gnaws 

With speckles along its hind

Its beady slits looked into souls

Desperate to bring hope

Because those piercing eyes have seen  

The monstrosities 

Shown as the wetlands sheds its tears

And distressed warbling fills the ears

Hopefully of those
That need to pay heed

To the birds and seeds

Because when we destroy this earth

Where will they roam?
