James Fraser Poet Couplet

They Followed the Geese

We think we are many, but there are billions of them
Species so different, they so out number us men

Then came that day when natures parameters changed
Something out there happened to us humans so strange

Whether they were robins, starlings, vultures or crows
She's had enough, for the birds she now chose

Formidable they became as they attacked in masses
Wave after wave in lacerated passes

No one was spared, whether mother or child
Some were found, bloodied but smiled

For many months the world has endured
Us facing survival outside we are lured

Ammonia traces as they leave their marks
Reminding who's in charge, the future of humans so stark

If you are fortunate to survive, look to the skies
They followed the geese, their formation to strive

For those of us who are left, underground we reside
If we are to change, it's up to us to decide

Michael Gelb July 3, 2010 at 4:15 AM Your poem a little scary. I don’t know where to respond to your question. There talking about boycotting Arizona because of the new immigration law that the Governor signed.
