For Flying's Sake !

On a railing we sat,

Using no hands just our feet,

We are many and not just one,

Each could fly, so everyone had gone,

From this distance I alone gazed,

At the world below trees,

Why do they take our airspace?

Stupid signals, and airplanes,

Something new, the blades of drones,

Just kill us, chop our feathers,

I have a friend, symbol of peace with dove,

My life is cheap without any love,

Your need to fly,

Our need to stay alive,

So, for flying's sake!

Please think and take a break,

For how long can we be your messengers?

Black and white pigeons.
