Sun arises, another new day,
Remember the saying
The early bird catches the worm?
Beyond these walls
Bodies move,
People .. (or robots?) working
For who knows what
They say, a living
Peering out my window
Caked with dust of age
Why hadn't I open them?
And let the wind come to play
Shouldn't the children be out
To spread their cheerful laughs
Isn't that the little bird singing
A morning greeting to the sun
Windows closed.
Wall surround.
No children, no play
No song, no laughter.
Only robots, bodies working..
They say for a living.
Now I remember..
Why the window's closed.
