In this world of endless storms, extending throughout the sky,
With corrupters as numerous as the stars
A lone eagle travels, desperate to find
A place to call home...
For everywhere she flies, lives a greater evil
Evicting her wherever she goes...
Now she is trapped in a cage laughed and jeered at
How to escape, she no longer knows...
Should we allow this to happen?
This treachery to continue on?
Or should we stand up right now
And free this majestic being, to reach a home, a sapphire sky?
And when she flies, as free as a bird can be,
We must guide her! Protect her!
To stop bullets, aimed or stray
To ever touch her hide!
We should feed her seeds sowed from fertile fields,
We should cloak her with the finest garments,
We should give her home with untold treasures,
We should never lose her again!
