Greed Poem by Nicole Annette Hofer

She was just like a bird
Wanting to learn how to fly
Why would you ruin her dreams
Take her from her home in the sky

Her new home was a cage
No freedom, no respect
When the door you left open
It was her instinct to act

You watched her with greed
As she tried to fly
You knew she would fall
You knew she would die

Then why at the last moment
Did you regret what you've done
Is it because after all
You are still alone

Her spirit is soaring
In the clear blue sky
I loved her after you
Gave her new wings to fly
