Blue Bird
A bird with delicate aqua wings and a hungry beak,
 Powers through air as a knife to hot butter,
 
 The freest form of nature, 
 He is bound by no limits 
 
 His home, the heavens 
 The endless blue
 
 Swooping and diving, a traipse artist 
 True master of the skies 
 
 King of everything-
 And nothingness
 
 Commander of himself
 And only him self 
 
 Alone he glides alone 
 No protection 
 
 No pack to call his own 
 His calls dance in the wind; teasingly carry in to the distance-never to be heard 
 
 A bird with delicate aqua wings and a hungry beak,  
 Powers through the air as a knife to hot butter
 
 A hunter, with sweat trading down his pale face
 Proudly marches on a parade with only himself 
 
 The oldest form of man 
 A ruthless killer 
 
 Beady eyes scan the pure blue 
 His grip adjusts on his long metal rifle 
 
 His killing machine 
 To do his dirty work 
 
 A sixth sense activates
 Honing in on the blue bird 
 
 Raising his gun with out hesitation 
 He levels his eye with the sight
 
 Positioning it the right way 
 He follows bird 
 
 A careful c*** of the pump
 And a light finger on the trigger 
 
 A bullet is sent spiraling 
 In to the atmosphere 
 
 Travling faster than the eyes can see it 
 Reaches the bird 
 
 Tearing though it magnificent wings 
 It rips with ease though its small fleshy body
 
 Exiting the other side the bullet flies on in to oblivion 
 Blue bird loosens its tight stance- giving in to the weight of the world 
 
 Lifeless, it plummets to the ground
 Free falling 
 
 With a light almost unnoticeable thud it lands 
 Dead 
 
 Soon there will be no trace left
 No reminder,  no memories 
 
 After all who cares 
 For a lonely blue bird?
 
 A hunter, with sweat trading down his pale face
 Proudly marches on a parade with only himself
