My Kingdom
Poem By: Stephen kazanovicz
Ever since I was a young eyas this was my sanctuary
I did as I wish, and had no reason to be wary
My presence speaks volume before I say a word
I feared nothing and no one, for I am a predatory bird.
The time has come where this ruling has come to an end,
There is no more territory for me to defend.
As I fly above my former sanctuary high
I see my friends, family and food scurry by
The heat radiating upwards is intense
The flames in my home have grown immense
The humans did this with their foolish ways
They set fire to the Forrest in a not so glorious blaze
Up the coast I must migrate
Hoping my natural instinct brings me to a better fate.
