Rhinestoned Buzzards
Some birds are sentries to the sky
others are earth or water bound
some bumble about the lifeless rye
others are cherubs of the clouds-
Some are regal and soundless
others tend to echo from the grate
dictating to others how to sing
while cawing and poaching eggs-
Some build nests of grass or leaf
sacrifice everything for their babies
some birds just play a mating game
then just as quickly up and leave-
I'm convinced most birds are heaven scented.
they uplift and enrich our lives
some are but rhinestone buzzards
plucking others until they're blinded-
Most fliers are garnish for the ages
some live to crap on liberty's bust
a few are fated for mental cages
birds are a lot like us-
