Children's Song Comments

The poem is about us and what we have lost.

The first few lines emphasis that the adults are unable to go back to their childhood. Even if you go on your hands and knees and try acting like a child, you still won't be able to be a child. The blue color of the birds' eggs are a brighter blue than the sky itself. The eggs are 'mocking' the polluted sky. The blue sky is a metaphor for happiness, which has faded and become remote.
