Passer domesticus ~ Wednesday, 10 July 2019

Try to make sense of life, 
riddle my brain with holes, 
yet, not to try is strife, 

to understand nothing 
of why we are here now, 

make the best of our time, 
as days pass without goals, 
kindness is a battle, 
even the rich endow 

simply with what they bring, 
empty bowls, full of grime, 
need a wash and some wear, 
seeds, vegetables and grains, 
endless fruits and nuts, share 

objects grown in the fields, 
fight to care for cattle, 

life, fleeting, nothing yields, 
in our work we take pains, 
find meaning beyond words, 
endless chatter of birds.
