Your Feathered Friend, A poem by davenobody

[davenobody]

I wish I were a bird so that I could fly
You may see me take wing to soar upon high
Riding air currents, upward I'd sail
With the sun in my face and the wind at my tail
Closer to heaven in hopes I might find
The strength to forgive to obtain peace of mind

On second thought . . .

I'd fly low, searching below
For roadkill, carrion and corpses
On all of these I would feed
Until struck with the urge and filled with the need
Then across the horizon, swift wing beats would lead me to perch in that tree just outside your homestead
Then when you came out
Taking careful aim
I'd shit it all out all over your head

I totally get this. It's a metaphor for Man's inhumanity to Man, right?
It's the eternal struggle of Good vs. Evil. It's high and low, black and white, sunlight and darkness.

...unless, that is, you're just pulling my ying yang.
