One wee rusty wren
warbling with glee
will willingly wake
those who sleep-walk through life
wicked and weary, their wrong ways
waste time
while the world waits for change
from treetop
to rooftop
to worn windowsill
we wait and we listen
with each wonder-filled trill
there’s work to be done
the wren whistles and warns,
time’s a wastin’, wars are raging
get up now, get woke.
