In the Day ere Man came,
In the Morning of Life,
They came together
The Father, the Mother,
Debating.
"Forever they shall live,
"Our Children,
"When they are born Men,
"Forever they shall live,"
Said the Father,
Said the Mother.
But the little Bird cried,
Ah, the little Bird cried:
"How shall I nest me —
"How shall I nest me
"In their warm graves
"If men live forever?"

I read the poem before I read the title and I was about to call this a 'sexist' poem etc., but then of course I browsed up to the title .. yeah I'm with the bird on this one.
It's a philosophical piece but I also feel that there's somewhat a jestful humor to it kind of sardonic in a way. A good piece by this Anonymous poet.
