The Mirage
Flying higher up the sky
Eagle stretches his wings as wide
In the limit of bluish sky
And acts in vain to intervene
The sunlight from kissing the earth
And throw his eyes widened afar
To the earth below
Quite surprised at his own shadow
Thrown over the whole earth
So larger and so wider enough
And too proud of his ability and strength
To occupy the land of nature and green
In his own possession
The eagle
Quite unaware the truth of his shadow
Tired of flying higher up the sky
Falls straight down the earth
Breathing desperately
Takes rest on a piece of the earth
So cool by sorrows knowing the reality
Nothing owned by him
But a few of the earth in his possession
That stuck the claws of his feet
