My blogger and FB friend IHM, is lucky to live in the capital surrounded by greenery and flowers, and is able to get some amazing clicks of folks who come visiting and perch on the trees visible from her balcony.
Of course, these folks also get a great view of her balcony, and sometimes, things get traumatic.
Like they do, for ordinary folks who are in danger of being dishoused, because someone somewhere succeeds in selling the land their house stands on, and they are left watching the Fat Cats grinning after having usurped all the milk from the public bowl.....
The expression on the face on the bird says it all......
I don't believe this !
In the last year,
I've moved five trees,
dismantling,
losing
and building
again and again
a simple
tenement
for the family
in the corner of a tree.
Now I hear,
that
this tree too will be chopped
as the land
goes to the builders.
What's more
I can see
the fat cat in the balcony
grinning away,
complacent,
stretching,
whiskers glistening
after imbibing
someone else's milk...
Aiyyo!
I so wish
they had passed
a Birdpal Bill.....

Beautiful picture so well complemented by your words. This Birdpal bill is so required. Your lines reminded me of a tragedy that happened here, my scheming neighbor chopped off a few branches of two on my trees when I was out of town. Not for the land, it's just for the 'noise'that these very birds make :(
ReplyDeleteWords that complement the picture! Excellent. :)
ReplyDeletePerfect.....a birdpal bill!!!! So it is--I will send request to Avaaz.org!
