I, a hawk, sitting high up in the trees
Looking out over my kingdom, I’m thinking
What do I have which makes me powerful?
I, a hawk, can soar high up up up
Into the air, but then, so can other birds
But maybe (hopefully!) not as well as me.
I, a hawk, have shiny feathers which drink the sun
And make all the world mark my beauty, but then so does a peacock,
But maybe we don’t go there.
I, a hawk, have beautiful eyes piercing
All who spot me. But what good is poking holes
In people’s souls? I know the answer.
I, a hawk, can hunt and kill and
Ram right into a bird and feathers fly everywhere
and the head falls off but that’s gross so I eat it.
I, a hawk, know what makes me powerful. This
Simple little thing, bit of knowledge, is what
Makes me,
Myself,
I,
A hawk.
