Silver Birds of Prey

What ensued was like a holacaust, and so
many of the birds were lost, even though
helpers form all species came they could
not stop the shame, and many started
squawking the blame game.

Finally after many months of hard work
and prayers, creatures of all kinds did
share in getting things back to a somewhat
normal state where all involved could
congregate, to study ways to keep such a
heinous act, from ever again becoming fact.

However so much was lost it hurt to the core
and the situation became a cauldron of war.
A year has past and it's getting worse, the
species won't reconcile and have become a
curse, and those who were attacked, have their
own birds of prey, and are going to do the same
thing, but in a different way with so much
arrogance, ignorance, power, greed and fear,
will anything still be here next year?
