You, The Haliaeetus Leucocephalus

You brilliant, flying eagle
So narrow-minded
You stretch your black, artichoke wings
Towards the clear, blue sky
Oh how stiff and uptight you look
In that straight-standing posture
You're not only a bully
But you take prey in your surroundings
You kill for food
You also got bad character
But your yellow bill and feet
Give way to a better character
For an eagle like you

I can see in your cat eyes
That you search for survival
But you explore
Sleep
Your high-pitched shrills travel for miles
Your round, white head
Searches for a mate
For bondage and family
Your power to fight
And protect your young
Has shattered within itself
Until pride with your mate takes ever 
Saving your young's lives
From innocent death
Of the unknown
