Little Bird Poem by Kim Jones

Say nothing, little bird,
You who are to be unseen and unheard.

Scream loud, little bird,
To those who shush your pleas and call you absurd.

Make tears, little bird,
You who cried out and still was not heard.

Stay low, little bird,
You who was gagged, and forced to hear every word.

Take flight, little bird,
You who was never noticed or heard.

Live your life, little bird,
So that you will always be both seen and heard.
