there are a thousand birds
in a thousand places

all singing songs to the sky
without purpose without goals
so many live and so many die

this ones eyes are dull
it will never sing another song
laying in tufts of bloodied down

poor nameless robin
don’t you understand?
you are alone
you are outside of history

but if you aren’t remembered
its as if you never were
so here robin dear
I will keep this feather
as proof you were really here

good poem.
people who say "you need better stanza blablabla"
dont know it but they dont understand that when you write something
you leave it as it is. you never tamper with it (unless your the author)
because it is true imagination at its purest.

I think the stanzas could've been adjusted justa a lil but other than that it's excellent. ^^
