I found a perfect egg
Heavy and blue
Just like an Easter egg
Abandoned and through
I could see the shell
Assaulted and scarred
How could the mother bird
Simply discard
I’m kneeling down to pick it up
I wanted it to feel my love
I saw a praying bug
on the festival grounds
and it was looking up
by the inflatable clown
and she was fighting hard
From the boot of a crush
and people laughed at her
Disabled in the dust
I pick her up and walk away
In mountain grasses she now lay
A broken system
A broken world
A broken heart
Inside a broken girl
I found a little kitten
Orange and white
She was hunger stricken
Wandering the night
I gave her food and drink
and watched her walk away
Out to the county road
It wasn’t until the next day
I spot her body lying there
Struck down and left without a care
One act of kindness
To those undone
Show mercy first and
Be a hero to one
There isn’t any price
or profit to be won
A simple sacrifice
The hero
The hero
To one
