I have reached across this sky, angered by this beauty that is being
destroyed, below me.
Thy beautiful and sacred creature known as the mighty eagle, now
has painted wings.
Those so careless see my lighting for thy spirits that are now angered
before you I beacon.
I know not how to save this earth, from your selfishness or greed
For you know not how to stop destroying such beauty, given so graciously.
I bare this pain for the children of the future, and for those that have
lived before me that still watch over this earth.
Though I am only one may this be the beging of my brother's and sister's
to behold this beauty, and help to stop this selfishness.
Behold this lighting.

As soon as I saw the picture with this poem, I knew it would be a goody. You captured the look upon her face and gave a damn good reason for her to look angry. It is a shame when the only evidence of an animal is fossils or paintings. EXCELLENT
