Chirping of Birds...

Chirping of Birds
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma

Sweet melodious invitation of cuckoo
greedy flights of crows
chirping of homely birds
green cries of parrots
or dancing of peacocks or cries
where are these now?
Yes,  their voices are still there
in the ringtones of mobiles
or in hanging bells
where are the hanging nests?
is this our real progress
from living with all to just self?
these chirping ringtones are a clarion call
to return back to those
whom we have forgotten
