Falcon

Falcon of death
Circling the sky
Contemplating choosing
Which one will die

Unwitting prey
Is spotted below
Which one will die
Only you know

Young or old
All are fair game
Even the strong
Not just the lame

One's time has come
You stoop and dive
Taking just one
The others alive

You strike in an instant
You strike without fear
Taking whomever
Anytime of the year

    This is really a fabulous piece of work. beautiful rhyme at work; and conspicuous allegorical elements.
