I stay in the background
Hovering high over the ground
Searching nay for rotten feed
Looking for long forgotten dead
I walk around with no fear of death
With the way am made
Who will think of me as feed?
I get as near with no fear of cages
As ugly as i am who'll make me a pet
I reel in my fortune
With neither fear nor jealousy
My only hint of sadness
Are my bleak eye and head
As even though am ‘free as free'
I still envy the eagle and beauties
For i hear discontentment is natural
A vulture never has to worry much about a meal because things constantly die, but yes, the dignity and title you get for being a scavenger, isn't always the best. To be great, without glory is what one could say. Beautiful Write.

The point of view of the vulture is interesting. Its also very subjective, as vultures do have a certain majesty and in urbans areas they arouse much interest. Good poem.
