An invitation to Warlords from a Songbird

Hey! That boasting new year has come again
And I hear a rare bird-song from a tree-top.

'My little ones sleep in the nest quietly
But they are scared of bombings.
Please try to stop at least in this leap year.
My birthday falls on February twenty ninth
And I celebrate once in four years.
Leave all the rubbish weapons aside that kill the humanity.
I invite you all without any hesitation,
Sir, I hope that you bring the true peace for my humble party.'

* Do they come for the party?
