Seagulls Shriek Louder To Warn God

As men pledge allegiance to their demons, seagulls shriek louder to warn God; these creatures only have feathers for clothes and don't feel a bit of cold! How sullen the skies would be without the presence of seagulls: no shrieks, no flapping of wings... and the saddest would be me! I can walk to the breezy shore, pick up a few broken seashells ignored by those vagrants without lore... as their rags are washed away by waves! On these bright afternoons of stillness, I go as far as the solitary beach allows; I hear surfs crashing on low dunes... only this wanderer stops and ponders! As men pledge allegiance to their demons and add more pride to their vanity, seagulls shriek louder to warn God... that what they are doing is absolute insanity: launching space crafts and ignoring the needy!
