The Little Bird And His Stories Poem by Jenna Dandurand

A little bird
whispered in my ear
yesterday.
He told me all about
the good in the world.
That girl gave homes
to the homeless!
That boy gave food
to the hungry!
And after that bird
fluttered away
I looked up at
the world.
And I saw the sick
and the hungry
and the homeless
and the diseased
still in their same conditions.
And I wept at the
lies that bird told me.
And then I noticed
that boy and girl
giving homes and food
away like candy.
So I guess that
the bird told me the
truth. There are
good things in this
world of ours.
It's just that the bad
overpowers the good
so much that our
vision is distorted
and dead
and hopeless.
We need light.
We need to spread it.
Let's.
