The bird born in an aviary and raised in captivity <br />Can never live in Nature's World amongst the wild and free <br />Even the birds of it's own species will peck it till it die <br />So never allow your feathered pet the freedom of the sky. <br /> <br />I am naive of the laws of Mother Nature and naive of Nature's way <br />And for interfering with Nature there is some price to pay <br />The bird born in captivity in a cage must remain <br />Why even it's own kind in the wilds would kill it is beyond me to explain <br /> <br />Humans try to manipulate Nature and Nature's creatures control <br />But Mother Nature far greater than Human kind her's is an eternal soul <br />For we are like Nature's Seasons we come to life and go <br />Yet of our Earth Mother who feeds us so little we seem to know. <br /> <br />The bird born in captivity in a cage condemned to stay <br />For if released the other birds will kill it since this is Nature's way <br />And Mother Nature herself as old as father time <br />She claims the young and she claims the old and those still in their prime.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-laws-of-mother-nature/
