On An Eagle's Wing Poem by Ray Andrews

As I was walking along the shore
An eagle came to me
He asked me to take a ride
He said it was for free

I agreed forthwith and on his wing
Took off to see our world
I learned quite quickly our course was set
As the agenda unfurled

We flew over west coast cities
Winging and banking some
He said 'Look at all this filthy air-
do you think I'm having fun? '

I gulped at the signt of all the goop
Lingering in the air
He said 'Do you think your energy use
Is to us wild ones fair? '

I shook my head and off we went
Headed out to sea
He said 'Look at the waves, back and forth-
Energy for all of thee'

We flew to a volcano
Spewing it's ash
He said 'The heat in the land-
Is an energy cash'

Aimed toward the sun
Before we started our fall
He said 'Look at that fire-
Fuel for all'

We flew to vast cliffs
With hard blowing winds
He said 'Use the air-
To energy's ends'

He said that clean air
They needed to thrive
If we kept with our ways
We all would die
