King of the air
Majesty of the sky
Gliding through the wind
Feeding above ground
Death in their claws
Blood tainting the ground
Fearless cry
In
The
Sky
They build cities in the air
They defy the gravity
Their talons creatures fear
Their will is natures command
None but each other oppose them
Few touch their young
Even fewer survive it
Their beauty all envy
Their strength is divine
They nest in monarchies of trees
And dwell
In
The
Sky
