Vulture from Simply Enough by Stephanie Douglass

Sleek feathers fanning out from its wings, the creature flies
In circles, funneling high above its next meal
The gentle current keeps him afloat on the breeze, like a kite
He twists and turns, a black silhouette on the cloudless sky

CHORUS:
Somebody points and says "Look at the bird!
Oh wait, it's only a vulture."
And the hearts of the humans fell to the ground
Like a hawk collecting prey
Ragged and gangly, wobbly frame
What's wrong with being a vulture?
The unsung hero of the ecosphere
Seeing you fly has made my day

You are not only a vulture to me, my red-faced friend,
You're beautiful - descending toward the carcass nearby
Cloak of feathers sweeping the earth of its dead as life goes on
Keeping our world cleaner, doing what nobody wants to do
