Big Black Birds

These big black birds, eagles and kinds they fly westward all the time to lands far far from home with hopes to find better chicks for fill but these hopes too have their own wings so they fly as soon as they perch to further lands beyond their reach. So why the journey, why the flight? Why the struggle on foreign lands? all for nothing but a winged hope. Can these fruits hanging down from homeland tress not serve to keep you fill? If it is flesh you must have you the vultures, you the hawk. You the kit, you the owl. You these big black birds that think of nothing but your fill, come back home and search the fields like the hens and chickens do.
