I know that you watch me
While my majestic wings roar in the faraway skies
Like a spacious curtain they blackout the sun
And hide the friends and foes in their solemn fights
Whether over earning livelihood or gratifying insatiate greed.
No matter, both are equal to me.
Let them be!
But I still watch them all, from my nest
Which whereabouts will always baffle
The hunters who yearn for a moment
When they become able to imprison me in their nets.
Let them dream!
I always prefer giving them the benefit of doubt.
I even let them come closer
But when the time comes,
Nobody they should blame except themselves.
I enjoy having their pride my prey.
No wonder, I am the dweller of heavens
And I let the earth for whoever live on pity fights.
I have no time to share their inescapable plights.
Every day, I chivalrously wake up in my awe-inspiring nest.
I greet my serene solitude and precious loneliness
That had ever been my protective shield.
I am not a bird nor can any creature emulate me.
I was born an EAGLE,
A species that will always be
The King of the skies and the Conqueror of untrodden lands.
Every creature on the earth and the sky
Watch me spreading my unmatched hegemony
In each of my continuous and scarce flights.
They perceive that I am always strong and brave and young.
I never let them see me when I lose my powers
And old age devours the vigour of my unyielding sinews
And consumes the brawn of my wings.
Sometimes, I even lose my eyesight
Then, I convince myself that death will be bright.
Do I grieve?
Never!
This is the cycle of life.
There would always be another eagle
Which my nest would welcome
And teach how to show to all the other creatures
That eagles are eternal
And enjoy a life of permanent youth.
I love such an expediency!
It is a favourite strategic expediency
Which is handed over to our line, since the dawn of life.
