to say that we are jealous of the birds
for they can freely fly
is clearly an understatement
of how little we know about their struggles when the storm comes,
or when they try go back to the forest,
helplessly looking for trees,
hoping to build nests
to the place they once called home.
to say that we are jealous of them
for they can freely fly
is an ignorant statement
of how we barely know of what their lives actually look like.
