Why Have Feathers? - Poem
Why have feathers?
Why have feathers when one is so desperately grounded to the earth.
Why have feathers when friends and fellows pluck at them
Until your skin is bloody and raw,
And until your wings can no longer carry you above the clouds
Where you wish to be.
Why have feathers when you can only dream of flying?
Why have feathers when there is no hope of flight?
Why have feathers at all?
