BIRDS HAVE THE EDGE

Observations of birds.

Imagine if you could fly

leave the wheels in the drive

just take off

bye bye

not a care in the world

sore in the sky.

Makes you marvel

at all those birds

some quite a size

yet they just

leap and soar high,

all we do is

watch their antics

as they fly.

Is it skill

taught wisdom

or maybe they do not care

as they leap from a branch

into the air,

all comes as natural

not a hesitation,

I'm sixty foot high

watch me let go

flap my wings

goodbye.

Try tell a pidgeon

he is violating

someones airspace,

or passing over

some secret

installation.

And if it was me

they would shoot me down

'Your not allowed to fly,

your human, thats why.'

Oh so be it

the birds have the edge

maybe I should be

a chicken instead.
