The Falcon

Darkness filled the earth

not a light in the sky

except the shine

in the falcon's eye

It had no fear

it's strength was great

It was full of love

and freed from hate

It has a life of Peace

and is free

It expects no danger

or misery

But man is selfish

and wants to kill

to mend his pride

and be richer still

He takes and takes

and never gains

He thinks it takes

away the pain

to kill the beauty

who gives the light

For in his eyes

life shines too bright
