THE EAGLE

Battle-scarred, weary, fully exhausted,

The raptor stands in full defiance;

Daring all enemies – every one,

Don’t take me on – don’t even chance!

I am vigilant and ever calm,

But threaten me and we will dance;

From my sharpest talons,

To the arsenal with my lance;

All enemies will pay in blood,

If they dare go beyond just a glance;

For all foes great and small,

I won’t tolerate their fight and rants;

I stand! I’ve stood! And will continue so!

Ready to scrap in battle stance;

But choose to be my friend,

Blessings will follow you perchance;

My beliefs are unchanging and ever bold,

To try is death in meeting my resistance.
