A migrating bird chirps into my ears, <br />'Can you make a nest for me that will be safe for ever? ' <br />I don`t know what he means by a safe nest <br />For my nest has been on the verge of a collapse. <br />He flies away dreaming about a safe nest. <br />That leaves me with a question, ' Where to fix a safe nest? ' <br />Safe nests should never be on the branches of trees <br />For trees themselves are tormented by storms and quakes. <br />Safe nests shouldn`t be on the roofs of man`s homes either <br />For his mischevious kids may throw away the eggs. <br />Safe nests should not be under the water or in the skies <br />For the fury and the terror of these elements are disastrous. <br />Safe nests shouldn`t be anywhere that eyes see or ears hear <br />For there are humans living on this earth. <br />You migrate my dear bird to anywhere you feel it safe <br />And never return to these unsafe homes.<br /><br />M.D DINESH NAIR<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/as-there-aren-t-safe-nests/
