Another House Spot

All the shrubs being cut down to widen the roads

No thought given to establish nesting codes

Only interested in driving their big cars

Through classy neighborhoods like movie stars

Housing and development destroy more bush

Environmental consciousness now gone on a hush

Rental apartments and high rises now becoming a norm

How they expect the sparrow birds to keep their eggs warm

One bird weaved its nest in a plant pot at me

Under the patio roof, clear where I could see

Sheltering from the elements, the bird chose inside

Every time I pass it I tiptoe but our natures collide

She leaves her three eggs startled, when I open the door

Placing the pot in safety, I’d risk her not coming back anymore

Only a few weeks and she’ll be gone but what then

They destroy birds homes so some birds may need squat again
