White birds

Shereen Nabil Nagib Ramadan

Egypt-Cairo

A serene sky

Full of white birds

That far away they always fly

They dream to build their own nest

On the earth to have just a rest

But each time they try

They lose one of their newly white angles

Who’s newly has learnt to fly

And they begin as usual to sing the song of sorrow and cry

One day they stopped all their endeavors

And began to fly and fly

Looking for peace and waiting to die

They began to make their nests from love and tenderness

Replacing them very high

Along way from the cold mountains to the sky

Hoping that we could recognize them one day

To give them peace and let them to be free to live or die

And if we didn't

At least they have tried!

One day a young boy felt on his head

So he saw no longer blue sky and there was a huge shift

He saw a white angelic heaven

And a lot of white was driven

He screamed cheerfully to his mom saying

"There are no longer clouds

There are just beautiful sounds

There are white glowing birds

Coming from the cold mountains to the sky

Making a white pass to heaven!"

Suddenly everyone began to see the White Pass

They thought that it was a way for paradise

They never recognized that it was just a herd of white birds!

Trying to survive away from humans killings

So they rushed to the cold mountains

Competing who will reach first

But when they reached to it... they found them just white cold birds

Too close from freeze!

Because of human greed

However, some began to walk on them

And others began to recognize that they are not dead yet!

A lot of horror screaming spread all over the universe

"We killed them once

They will kill us hence

 They will take us to death

They are not a pass for heaven or wealth

They are a revenge trap to the way of death

Stop people, Stop!

Don’t make them reach to their wrath"

However, white cold mountain birds remained still

While others at the sky flew away before anyone could reach and do another sin

People began to return back

But they found that the cold mountains white birds are not the one who attack

Now people began to understand!

It was all about human's wrack

Cold mountains birds sacrificed their lives

 For not letting people fall and to make them survive!

People began to admit that they should give them peace!

So eventually the sky returned to its blue

While Earth became white paradise and no more gloom!
