Brave little Sisyphos

More than 600 times a day
parent birds are feeding their siblings,
And if one parent is being killed?
I do so admire "my" little Sisyphos
for what he is doing,
since Lady Redstart got missed.
[All I found one morning was a flight feather.]
So much I'd like to help him.
Fixed a birdhouse on the balustrade,
bought mealworms to make his life easier,
but so far the little widower does not accept help.
A hunter for life.
May he succeed!

Hymn to Freedom



When every heart joins every heart and together yearns for liberty,
That's when we'll be free.
When every hand joins every hand and together molds our destiny,
That's when we'll be free.
Any hour any day, the time soon will come when men will live in dignity,
That's when we'll be free, we will be
When every man joins in our song and together singing harmony,
That's when we'll be free.

Dione Taylor
