We
are
a nest of baby birds
demanding to be fed
chirping shrilly
ever louder
all we know is
that by demanding
we get free food
our appetites increase
as does our size
we do not know
or care
who provides the food
or where it comes from
all we know is that
by chirping we get more
we deserve it
we think
there's always more
for those of us
who
do not wish
to fly.
