The birds fell dead from the sky

The birds fell dead from the sky

The birds fell dead from the sky

no warning no storm to blame

they dropped in the streets like rain

wings twisted on the ground

People stopped and stared

feet careful not to tread

a silence followed close behind

as if the air had cracked

What power takes them down

what hand pulls them from flight

a shadow we cannot name

yet it keeps on happening

The morning comes with feathers

scattered across the road

the trees still wait for song

but nothing rises there

The birds fell dead from the sky

and the sky gave no reply

Their voices once filled the dawn

now only echoes remain

an empty choir unanswered

Children asked why they fell

no one could give them truth

only lowered heads and whispers

The world feels smaller each time

when the sky forgets its wings

and leaves the earth in sorrow

A note from the I ternet I found below

Birds can fall from the sky dead due to sudden traumatic events like collisions with buildings or power lines, which cause disorientation and blunt force trauma. Other causes include severe weather conditions such as sudden cold fronts or fog, exposure to toxins or disease, or a sudden predatory attack that causes a flock to panic and fall.
