Unfortunately

I can’t be an angel 
As you requested 
The feather I had been saving for the past year
From the slaughtered ducks 
The dead chickens 
Chopped birds 
Boiled doves
Stray storks 
The lost flamingos 
The slain bluebells 
Poisoned peacocks
Imprisoned ostriches
The blind owls
The hanging crows 
The drowned seagulls 
The storm blew them a way
Even 
The innocent face of the gazelle 
I stole from the careless hunters 
It is gone
Right now
You have to accept me 
As I am 
A human being 
Fill off law .
