The sounds we hear every day
distract us in a way
the crow caws early in the morn
could it be a wake up call
no , even more before you say
the cock strikes with a cock a doodle doo
mind you it is the cock
not the clock that strikes harsh
the chirping of sparrows
with a twitter gay and musical
invigorates the dawn in its rise
over to the afternoon
there be a lull of silence
perhaps a faint cry somewhere
the evening resumes the chant
the birds are in full form
return they to the nests
the hoot and shout of the owl
accompanies the darkness of the night
send a frightful feel down the spine
with them the animals too join
though the orchestra completes a round
the men and their gadgets
stream up to the bustle
the rhythm loses its cadence
as the menfolk enter with a bang
the horn and the speakers
decibels range high
force a fall out from nature
finally Man is the great destroyer
