a single buzzard

    we don't regard the message of the bird
    but anger drives us into plain desire
    and we are under the commanding word

    so much of what we learn becomes absurd
    you watch what happens underneath the wire
    we don't regard the message of the bird

    what is not done was properly deferred
    but now we cannot help detain the fire
    and we are under the commanding word

    so much in time we wish had not occurred
    it is not something that we could require
    we don't regard the message of the bird

    the signal is not what we had inferred
    but nothing matters when the news is dire
    and we are under the commanding word

    you find too soon just what we all had heard
    that no one to those heights ought to aspire
    we don't regard the message of the bird
    and we are under the commanding word
