Birds of Steel

We're lovers of flight, our numbers quite few,
A voice that cries and wings that bear fierce heat,
Warbringers, efficent in what they do,
The Heavens are reserved for the elite.

Their lives are small, the endless sky is vast,
Soar above despotic structures and ice,
Awesome wings of metal plating spread fast,
Many of them pay the ultimate price.

They feel the many hours wear thin,
Humanity locked in a gilded cage,
Nobody sees the beating heart within,
While flying above death in wars they wage.

The reasons they fly are often unclear,
Some crave the renown, others instill fear.

      Thanks, but I just realized that I spelled "efficient" wrong. Heh, that's gonna drive me crazy.
