The heron seems to smile

The heron seems to smile upon its prey
Why did God make this bird  be that way?
Could it  live on grass and bits of moss?
I guess  it is the protein it would miss.
We do much worse things than  do the birds
We damage other people by our words.
We also steal  more money from the poor
Even when the hangman’s at the door.
No,I don’t feel guilty  being rich
It seems that I use money as a crutch
I’ll give my winter coats to Charity
I’ll dress by drying leaves fresh off a tree
I’ll get a  little couch inside the shed
And hear the beetles laughing in my bed
I guess  a beetle will not know my name
Just like men, oh, dear, are they the same?
