Tom Wright Poet Lyric

I Am a Hawk

I Am A Hawk!
By: Tom Wright
3/16/2006

While we manifest our surly attitude
Like a stealth sparrow hawk in flight,
Numerous, with backbones in absentia
Boast of superior technology and might.

But some would have us as a cooing dove
And our demeanor is likened unto sheep.
But should third world opinion or politics
Dictate the pace, at which our forces creep?

So many of our citizens who clamor for war
But have not the stomach for it’s fighting.
An enemy is the same, man, woman or child
And the innocent’s blood is never inviting.
