sitting solidly, wary
alert on my perch
doing my PhD
on two legged animals
observed some are kind
to my feathered kin
setting out food
building nesting boxes
while others are heartless
tossing their waste about
so it becomes a trap
for all creatures
traps us
poisons us
then they continue to do it
without thought or care
I sit here solid and stare
reading their ‘type’
aware of who has insight
and who to aim my waste at
immature foolish idiots
no idea we think and talk
we pray you’ll learn soon
as we become more rare!
why wonder what they are thinking, a sensitive poet can read minds …
aroused 
wow, i love how you took on the perspective of the bird Kate.. really well done

It’ so easy to forget how our actions effect others, and not just humans, either. Hearing from an osprey’s point of view is a timely reminder!

Poignantly insightful Kate .. and I love how you took the birds ‘point of view’
Reminds of a poem I wrote a couple of years ago …. yep, it’s in my book …
“People Ain’t No Good”
We don’t need human’s
Look at us, standing tall and proud
Why do you pollute our sky?
Why do you stain our land?
Hiding under sacred hoods
People ain’t no good
We don’t need human’s
Look at us. walk and fly
Why do you catch and cage us?
Why do you shot us and make our babies cry?
Hiding under sacred hoods
People ain’t no good
We don’t need human’s
Look at us, swim and dive
We don’t need human’s
Look at us, eye to eye, and don’t lie
Why do you poison our earth’s waters?
Why are you committing suicide?
Hiding under sacred hoods
People ain’t no good
