The Birds of the North
By Zaynab Armstrong-Jones
21st CenturyHere comes the birds of the North
they fly in the dark
and walk in the day
nothing special at all,
just the normal lifestyle achieved by birds.
They come in dozens and move in myriads
they travel far and wide to get what they want
they are simply unrelentless about the future
they are the birds of the North
and they are here to stay.
The birds of the North
only attack when provoked
they are peaceful, intelligent and powerful birds
look at them once and then you know the score.
Thye are not quite pleasant to be with when you are different,
they are not the very best of friends when they do not know you
they are the birds that flock on the sea and never go deeper in search of something new and different,
that is why they are called the great birds of the North that never tire out.
There they are and when you come too close,
you know you have met the end because they are also very fast, very quick and calculating,
you would know when you have met a bird of the North because they truly are majestic, adventurous and totally wild.
