Our Home, Ninovan
Your majesty can not be defined.
Gliding through the air with
wind under your feathers.
Unafraid
Your world has been taken over
Two legged creatures
destroyed the home you knew from birth
For what?
Paper they will write their
inadequate dreams upon then discard.
You deserve better.
You deserve the lands where peace once spread.
You deserve to be praised, and respected.
Before the black hearted people destroyed the land in the name of adventure
Your ancestors, were worshiped by mine.
Only the brave and the wise would be compared to you.
The kind hearted, and the bold would be weary because they did not compare.
When your feathers would fall, even they were in high regard
Worn upon the heads of those deemed worthy.
Now you are fleeting from existence,
For what?
So that they can have bigger homes,
useless things to fill them, and voids as vast as oceans?
They lost sight of you, and when you have completely disappeared
They will post pictures of you with comments about how their loss is great
When really, they never knew you, and never will.
