The Eagle's lesson

THE EAGLE’S LESSON 

By Adil Siddiqui - D'18

For half an hour this man has noticed a sight of day,

The hermetic talon, and its kingly stay,

With its head held high, the cries rowdy nay,

And the non-craven looks of the bird of prey.

Its esteem in the aura so high and true,

As Elsa quotes for the Neem, I do for the eagle so,

"Can man be as bold as thou",

When time comes for him to show and glow.

Tis the lesson the eagles sing so clear and pure,

See the birds, the battle with the sun they endure,

Look at the wounds, the blood they themselves cure,

And show again in the sky to play and lure.
