An Ode To the Scavenger

(1) Strophe Slowly and slowly fly the mighty feathers: the uncanny wrath bearer, the poacher's prey, the bald bizzare stigmatic cryptic creature, the ecology's majestic role player; the curtain raiser of ecosystem's air purifier. Alas! Your iconographic role is omitted, you, the saviour of the mortal race from the contagious diseases. Astounded! How you uncontaminated dear environment. Your poaching has taken away the soul of the balanced ecosystem; crucial is saviour friend's presence, on the verge of extinction plight might have horrid ripple effect! (2) Antistrophe Irony! The friend's void can't be substituted by mere replicas of sustainable development; the diminishing existence will drastically affect the local food webs! How alluring to have a glimpse of the hunch and tuck of the bird's head in the cold, flapping and fluttering the wings, stretching the neck in the heat! You, remain aloft for hours, soars gracefully on long broad wings; with dazzling sharp eyes from the highlands to pick the carrion! (3) Epode Your iconographic presence is being honoured by the myths, legends, fables of civilizations from ages. High time to contemplate, to introspect, to jump into the ecosystem's integral bandwagon: as pivotal to rescue and redeem the bird's friendly endangered existence! All Rights Reserved © Silpika Kalita
