Based on "Mermaid" by Sergey Kolesov
Delicate, floating through sea currents and sea trenches
Elegant, dancing through coral reefs and shipwrecks
Pure as the sun beams that shine through the surface
He had trouble hopping in the currents. His usual flexible fins seemed stubby in the water. He splashed and swished, flexing and relaxing his long muscles. He got no where no matter the angle.
I'll fly away again
High in the sky toward migration.
As civilizations increase
Our species continues to weep.
The more land you conquer
Forces more stress
And Less flowers.
The scorching Serengeti heat casts a spotlight
Shining on a glorious creature whose life is finite
He enters the land of the stories untold
But he is the hunter whose task is so bold
dragons were salvation
before time began
with scales as smooth as glass
and horns sharper than cut diamond
gracefully soaring through the air
in flocks of a hundred then no more
being last i do not mind
but being the last is hard to find
i outlasted my family
some friends as well
i hope they're okay
theres no way to tell
i wish them the best
in all that they do
The trees he slit each bedtime are my limbs. Breathing branches laid to rest.
Spread as a tumor, Man forces lactating yield, across this wielding breast.
Common is just an excuse
For what we hate and often times lose
Don’t just be, fly towards what allows your spirit loose
Start a revolution; we are more than what we choose
1 Their splendor spreads around earth
2 Shaking the ground with every stride.
3 Sharing blood with the mighty lion
4 They’re gifted with graceful pride.
They think we are subservient,
They think we do not know.
They think we are susceptible
To their cruel, ungodly show.
The roar of the river,
The speed of the hurricanes,
The strength of the mountains,
The stealth of the tornatoes,
does not even compare.
