The lyrebird

I am,
the lyrebird that sits by your window,
I come when the sky glows, with presence, amber over black
to mock you while you sleep
the gazing sadistic of the night
Mocking you
a soldier stopping to watch while the children of men are tortured

Does it symbolize war? Like, the soldiers always watching over and making fun of the people? I like it.

A lyrebird is in fact a bird known for it’s ability to mimic human sounds famous for it’s ability to imitate the sound of a crying child. I used the lyrebird as a metaphor for something that is perhaps not entirely what it seems,



Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.
