Birds Should Be Allowed To Walk

You said, "You can paint a mural of the heavens
So long as you keep it in blacks and whites and
Don't stray from this paper." So I took my pen in
Hand and darkened the face of the angels for after all,
You have faith and this looks ever like your heart.
Sometimes we all need to remember that it's those
With saddest of hearts that make for the kindest
Of people; but you always had just one emotion.

And outside my window sill there's an army of ants
All vying and moving for positions and I just
Want to yell and tell them that their life means
Nothing that a machine couldn't replicate. But I
Guess I'm no better wasting my life with ink
And paper as I scribble down my ideal ideologies.

Over the fuss of the ant hills there's a wizened old
Bird, chirping away about how my feathers don't
Match the others and don't fly as high as they
Should, but maybe I'm just fine with living
On the ground. Maybe some birds should be allowed
To walk on the ground if that's what they want.

Who's more right when it comes to faith, the man
Who believes with a smile or the man who believes
With a curious glare? Well I may not have been
To Israel or Jerusalem or Cassadaga and I may
Never see the actual light of day but at least
My heart pumps because I make it and not because
That's what it's trained to do.
