The Eagle The sky - Once clean, unending, full of life. The eagle - He took this vastness And made it his domain, Soaring through the air With powerful thrusts of his wings. A graceful, beautiful bird. The sky - Now polluted, dirty. The eagle - An endangered symbol of national pride. Must we make him suffer In this by-product of man's progress? This is his world too. Let him live. © AMBRESS, 1978
