ALLY IN THE SKY
DAVE THE POET

When the eagle lands
On your front door
You better be ready
For shock and awe
Shade you with its wings
Tear you apart with its beak
Silently swoops
Rip you off the streets
Try to run
You can’t hide
A perfect predator
Ally in the sky

Always hunting
Land or sea
Always hungry
Always feeds
Sees at night
Hears every sound
The world
Is its hunting ground
Take you captive
Back to the nest
Might makes right
Power knows best
A natural predator
Can’t have friends
Welcome to Orwell’s Disneyland
In a viper’s den
It’s for your own good
Believe the lies
You’re safe with me
Ally in the sky
