Once i met a pigeon struck by a car
in the middle of the roadway bent with a scar
to offer my mercy I went to its cry
as others watch thinking it will die

I called upon an old woman to offer it some water
inside its mouth she poured slowly as a daughter
she placed the bird at the side of the roadway
as many pedestrians looked in dismay

upon its back the bird lay helpless in pain
yet no one turns to assist in its gain
"If only my creator could remember me now"
whispered the bird that had forsaken its vow

far in the distance, his voice was found
rescued by an onlooker it was removed from the ground
in shock and amazement thankful the bird pray
and with the breath of life, it flew away.
