Twigs for legs
It stands
On two claws
Beads for eyes
It looks
And then squawks
It resonates
Through the air
Heard from miles afar
Like a roar
It’s bloodline
That’s now eons apart
As it struts and clucks and pecks
It remembers the history that it reflects
A mighty beast
Tears flesh and meat
Predator of the land sky and sea
Eyes cut like knives
Chasing prey through the dark
The conductor
Of a ballad of screams
Now relies on the master’s daily feeds
Cleaning feathers
Brooding eggs all week
In the light of the morning, new friend
An unsure, yet so curious soul
Appeared, chosen among your peers
So you make your new presence known
When I walked in here I saw
Something moving
My dear loyal friend, with eyes so wide
With a wagging tail that’s by my side
A stance so regal, and fur that shines
A handsome lad
A suit as fine as wine
Your gentle paws, they touch my soul
A world where smog flies in the skies
No birds at all that will survive
All things share the same breath
All men
All size
Yet we say it’s okay
Like it’s a lie
Air shares its spirit
