Look at me and whine
Look at me and cry
I rule these skies
And there’s nothing you can deny
I’m a scavenger and what?
Yes I’m dirty and what?
Look at me, why?
Can’t you see I’m beautiful?
…
Your hearts of stone
Your lungs of gas
Brains of mud
And a world you’ve destroyed
You call yourself human
But you’re not humane
Look at me why?
Can’t you see I’m amazing?
…
We thrive in your world
So you shoo us away
We’ve made a life in your world
So you take it away
We’ve made it further than the others
We’ve survived extinction
Look at me why?
Can’t you see I’m strong?
…
Look at me in the sky
This is where I glide
I fly through the air
This is my fare
My eyes are drawn below
As I look down at you
Look at you why?
I can see you’re more.
…
I can see you’re,
…better

Hi Tom,
My name is Rens. I love your poem, and how you dont know what animal it is until you come to the bottom. I like the truth that you put in it, and really enjoy the way you put it in the point of view of a seagull. Come visit my blog at
