a hawk killed a sparrow

Alex Kay

a hawk killed a sparrow

and onlookers cried out:

"oh so cruel, you sky lord!"

​

but if that is cruelty

then it is the most beautiful

most wonderful

most meal

of wings flesh bones

and nothing should cry for it.

​

"sparrow, brother, you were sweet

in my mouth" said the hawk.

      Thanks, glad you like it! And yeah, the food chain is a natural thing, so how could it not be beautiful? 😛
