Majesty of.....

Majesty of a Turkey Vulture
The kinda true story of how nature ruined somebody's day

It was one of the most important days of Bob's 8th grade year. It was the day of his language arts final exam. He had a lot of trouble concentrating in class so he wrote it in a store room with little distractions, or so they thought.

He has just finished his first page and felt relatively confident on the rest of the test. It was on the second question on the second page where he heard the ear-drum bursting sound coming from the window. He almost fell out of his seat with fright, he didn't know from where or what this sound originated from. It sounded like a baby  bird that was being born, or a bird being eaten, there were a lot of similarities between the two sounds, the screeching and the crying mostly. He decided to investigate and see what made this sound. He looked out of the window.

It was a turkey vulture, walking around the grass in front of the store room, Bob didn't know what to do, he couldn't concentrate with that bird screeching. He couldn't go find a teacher or else he would be accused of cheating. He would just have to stick it out.

The plan went terribly and he was sure he failed the test. He was sad for the rest of the day until the next day when the teacher told him he got a A. From then on Bob listened to vulture noises every time he wrote a test.

(I said nature ruined his day, not his week)

The seedling I found was in the middle of a vast forest on top of a mountain. It would seem like the perfect place for a young plant to grow and to evolve into a majestic, awe inspiring tree. But the one law that has been on this planet longer than us still has its effect today, survival of the fittest. It is the most basic yet the most supreme law of nature. It is this law that will lead this little seedling to its ultimate demise. During the winter of course all the trees have their own way of surviving, their own way of reducing water loss, to survive long enough for the summer to come. During the winter of course it opens the path for the sun to place its golden rays upon the ground, giving discarded seeds a chance to prosper. It ...

Poem

We live in a time where a lot of effort is put into making people know that only they can decide their destiny. We do live in an age where we have the ability to be whoever or whatever we want to be. Some people exploit that and become great, while others don't and fail. This poem is was inspired by the reality of nature and its relevancy to our society. The Sapling Young and fragile, thin, hanging on to life dearly, Unoriginal, but original in every way, Reliant upon greater beings, Knowing that it's life can snuffed out instantly, like a spark waiting to catch fire, The green dwarf of nature, with the potential of becoming majestic, a giant waiting to sprout, a king waiting to be crowned, it's watchers hoping silently, that only it can determine it's survival.
