Feathers
Based on this site and discussions with my friend Ted about his ornothological friends. While the song is specifically about birds that have gone extinct, it applies to our world at large, and perhaps ourselves.
Abominominous covered this for a Coverfight 2004. It rawks!
stylish, exotic
with limitless beauty
the ostrich and egret
were slaughtered with creulty
society hats
yes for decrative awning
they hadn’t a chance
no, they hadn’t a warning
the eskimo curlew
and passenger pigeon
heath hen and great auk
and the labrador duck
extinct now forever
these birds, killed for feather
imagine if we
had lived responsibly
