Each day we watch 

Astonished

As you grow in strength

Into your blood feathers

Terrifying juvenile

Your prayers are for prey

All you see is your suffering

Everything not you

Must be sacrificed, slew

Awed

As you spread your wings 

Covering part of the world

With darkness

Falling fast into your

Kill

Tyranny

Fully-fledged

*dedicated to Gideon Levy
