Today I saw a sparrow die.

Flew in front of my feet

Under the bus

Just before it started,

Leaving a smear of meat and feathers.

So that’s what God did to that bird.

You, who love God,

I have appointed you to speak for the sparrow.

But what will he say?

“Sorry, I wasn’t looking”?

“Oh I have my reasons”?

“C’mmon     It wanted to die.

You know it did”?

You who love God,

I have appointed you to speak for the sparrow.
