Stone Bird
Dr Abe V Rotor
Your wings that everyday flap
are now in surrender,
And the wind that carried you up
has left you down under.
Majestic and lovely, oh bird,
lord of the open skies,
Across the land were once heard,
your pleading, helpless cries.
Would a monument suffice
to enthrone your life and deed,
Bestow a posthumous prize,
to hide man's folly and greed?
The stone bird does not answer,
its world too, shall soon depart,
And man takes pride in his power
of make-believe in his art.
