Sparrow and Airplane

Airplane flew in the sky,
He looked down at the ground.
Sparrow was sitting on a branch,
He waved his small wings.

"Sparrow, you are little bird,
And you'll never understand,
What is the feeling of freedom,
What does to fly above the earth!"

"Airplane, don't you understand,
That freedom is different?
My freedom is my life,
My friends and my beauty!"

"But, Sparrow, you live on the tree,
You can't fly in the clouds!
You just tweet, and I will slide into the sky,
My freedom is in the clouds!"

"But, Airplane, freedom is not a specific place,
Freedom is a spirit and a dream, it is an idea!
I see the world from my own angle
And my freedom is knowledge and beauty!"

Sparrow and Airplane did not agree on anything,
They held their grudge against each other.
How did this story end, we don't know yet,
Because it hasn't ended yet.
So, follow the news and place your bets!
