Brighten our Plumes
Scavenging, ravaging, eating and beating
 Picking and pulling, the only one feeding
 Swing swiftly down low and deliver the blow
 Hidden, not ridden, but no need to know
 Fluttering feathers in cruel disarray
 Everything eats and everything pays
 All is consumed to brighten our plumes
 Leaving a path of greed, glares and gloom
 Perching and searching for small sickly scramblers
 Waiting on branches above ample amblers
 Plummeting, plunging, an ebony end
 No chance for living, no rules to bend
 Suspiciously sly, watch them smile as they die
 Sicken the sky as they flutter and fly
