Unfortunately Poem by Faleeha Hassan

I can't be an angel
As you requested
The feather I had been saving for the past year
From the slaughtered ducks
The dead chickens
Chopped birds
Boiled doves
Stray storks
The lost flamingos
The slain bluebells
Poisoned peacocks
Imprisoned ostriches
The blind owls
The hanging crows
The drowned seagulls
The storm blew them a way
Even
The innocent face of the gazelle
I stole from the careless hunters
Tt is gone
Right now
You have to accept me
As I am
A human being
Fill off law.
