Prometheus

It's the same old story, Isn't it? Oh mighty eagle, Go ahead, Tear it. That's what they do, Every time, Every day, Whenever something new appears, They keep it at bay. Oh mighty eagle, As the trumpets sound high, You people march on, Blind, To the agony, The distress, The loss, "*Who cares? They aren't worth a lot!*" And hey, Maybe I'm wrong, And if I am, I'll understand, For, someone who has heart, Should know that we all - are equal, And play a part. So mighty eagle, Trumpets that reels us in, Tell me, if you are wrong, Are you willing to listen?

Notes

I've written two poems named "Prometheus" now but the title fits, I guess. This one is about ... Let's just say Trumpets and eagles. Yeah. That should sum it up. (hint hint Its about a famous Disney character that is a duck and has a last name named after a musical instrument)
