Jumbo jets vs jays and jackdaws
If only we could fly like
those that tweet or hoot
without aid of jet or
parachute
For I sure don't like
wings that roar
just so they can take off
and soar
Ah, to fly without petrol, diesel
or fuel
Oh, to halt that taloned midair
duel
Birds they don't pollute
the air
nor need they any airline
fare
So if only I too could rise
and glide
and let the wind be my
sole guide
I'd be happy to fly all the
way to 'em' stars
if I was assured I'd risk
no charring scars.
Flying without aviation
formalities
I could be sightseeing
many more cities
Ah I so wish to fly just
like a jay or jackdaw
Then I'd fly across all and
every border
For I'd know nor follow
no man-made law!

I believe this poem is about nature vs man. I like the concept of the birds vs Jets very cool. The line where you mention sightseeing the cities made me wish to fly naturally also. But if it weren't for these planes we wouldn't have gotten off this earth because of the law of gravity. Still, I'm glad you wrote this poem because I will enjoy reading it.

Thanx for your comment. Yeahh but I still have dreams of flying like birds that can resist gravity with their wings without polluting the air. Infact I see such dreams in sleep where I'm actually asleep and soaring with angelic type wings. It seems so real in the dream then when I wake up it's disappointing to realise it was only a dream. I hope in heaven we can fly with our own pair of wings.
Cheers and thanx again

Such a lovely poem about the differences between a bird vs a noisy engine. By the way, great plot line!
