From Ash Wednesday by James W. Bailey

A poem...These birds have no wings that can fly...no voice that speaks...no distinction that matters...and they're lost in the ecological struggle of a popular cause and the media hype...for what it's worth...and worst of all...they have a beauty that's less than photogenic.
