Poetical: Yield the way to the pigeons

Yield the way to the pigeons

Machines, trains soar, feathers take flight,
Cages crushed, lives lost, scattered wide,
Another hurried to finish their own stride.

Pause, yield the path, make no sound,
Let them pass, their wings unbound,
Both you and they, silently tread,
Respecting tranquillity, in each step spread.



Дорогу голубям ты уступи

Машины, поезда летят,
И перья разлетелись,
Раздавленные клетки.
Ушли их маленькие жизни.
Спешил другой свои дела доделать.

Остановись и уступи дорогу.
Иди так тихо, чтобы
Расправить крылья не успел он,
А просто перешел, спокойно.
И ты и он, почтительно прошли,
Спокойствие друг друга уважая.
