Feathers are made of keratin<\/p>\n
imagining how light<\/p>\n
pigmented so beautifully<\/p>\n
to aid a bird in flight<\/p>\n
preening glands<\/p>\n
hold special oils<\/p>\n
to waterproof and hold<\/p>\n
back the inclement moisture<\/p>\n
thus worth their weight in gold<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
able to trap air when in flight<\/p>\n
and provide pure insulation<\/p>\n
Helping to \u00a0 keep the wild \u00a0souls clean<\/p>\n
spreading pure elation<\/p>\n
delicate and dainty<\/p>\n
but amazingly so strong<\/p>\n
these are the birds feathers<\/p>\n
and to birds they do belong<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Giving form and giving structure<\/p>\n
and personality<\/p>\n
a contour and a silhouette<\/p>\n
a feature wild and free<\/p>\n
balanced and harmonious<\/p>\n
aeronautically<\/p>\n
a ruff a frill a plume a crest<\/p>\n
an aid in glorious flight<\/p>\n
gliding soaring sailing<\/p>\n
in air lanes of the light<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This integral and magical<\/p>\n
certainty<\/p>\n
we feel we have the right<\/p>\n
To steal \u00a0away<\/p>\n
so abusively<\/p>\n
and so painfully \u00a0incite<\/p>\n
among the wilder feathered souls<\/p>\n
a larcenists refrain<\/p>\n
the irrelevancy<\/p>\n
Is obvious<\/p>\n
And What did \u00a0we have to gain<\/p>\n
a sharing oh so wearing<\/p>\n
and an untenable disdain<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
an undervaluation<\/p>\n
for bias and beyond<\/p>\n
fixation and obsession<\/p>\n
in thought who dares respond.<\/p>\n
some ugly corporation<\/p>\n
where faceless green wash be<\/p>\n
and advertising happens<\/p>\n
A tad misguidedly<\/p>\n
