EAGLE'S LAMENT

 



They never learned to love (me)

I don't know why

It was odd to give birth only to be drained 

by offspring

Give me more!

They turned on me 

Not valuing the love I gave

Going into the world to seek adoration from others

Their egos shouting

 Feed me! Feed me!

Baby birds growing larger and larger

Not willing to mature

Feed me! Feed me!

Others hear their cries and answer

As I am cast aside

Treated as an abuser

For trying to teach them to fly
