Stray you pearls of endless flight, <br />Loose, feathered, inventing graceful, <br />Golden and free, wings soar a mile high, <br />Fill, fill this my chilly windy sky, <br />Watching, I'm soaring, I'm free inside, <br />Teary eyed I smile, oh I smile <br /> <br />Oh but, overthere, fat fingers creeping into position, <br /> While grunting from some heartless stare, <br />'Ah, will be a good, 'cough', a good day', <br />From overthere, I overhear someone say, <br />BANG click BANG click BANG click BANG <br />If Heaven, 'twas shot down from overthere today. <br /> <br />Like the bruise, ouch, you can't help but touch, <br />I wander, heavy souled, plodding overthere, <br />To see, all I see, black guns, dark deadly stares, <br />But worse, worst of all, overthere, <br />I see Heaven shot down, murdered in the air, <br />Laying silent, still, in an ugly bloody pile overthere.<br /><br />Cin Sweet Fields<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/killing-birds/
