Poem (The feed)

The feed(Poem)

Holding a grain of millet in her beak ,
 The mother sparrow has come to feed.,
 The young ones are so tiny and small,
 From head to toe they are beaks ,
When they cry.
One grain to be fed to the ten young ones ,
To whom the mother sparrow should feed?
 Conjoining beak with beak ,
 With whom should she solace?
 Fissuring the atom,
 You have learnt to weep and wall in a loud tone.
 Splitting the grain,
You have learnt to set life on foot ,
 Could you split the grain?
 One grain to be fed to the ten young ones.
