MOTHER EAGLE (THE SPECIAL ONE)

MOTHER EAGLE (THE SPECIAL ONE)

I may not be the most beautiful,
may not be the most adorable,
the look on my face may not be bearable,
but I’m proud to me.

I don’t flap my wings around with the others,
I soar up high and the rest they fly under,
you are too proud was the statement by my sisters and brothers,
all because I go up the mountain to change my feathers.

I am the exact opposite of the pigeon,
very different from the robin, I don’t go singing,
humans like the doves cos they look very friendly,
they don’t like me cos to them, I look very deadly.

speaking of pride, I’m not like the peacock,
thank GOD I’m not a fish, so I don’t get hook up,
I do things my way so I don’t always need some back up, so, when wise birds are talking, Mrs. ostrich please back off.

I don’t talk at all cos I’m not like the parrots,
to be a strong bird, I don’t have to eat carrots,
whenever I sharpen my Bick, I know how much it hurts,
and to feed my chicks, I don’t have to cook till it’s hot.

by now you must be wondering who I really am,
you're right I’m a birdy, obviously not a human,
I’m not a croc, and I’m not even a mammal,
I am THE MOTHER EAGLE, the fast and fearless mama.

Good day all, please let me know what you think about this piece.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
