Today is international vulture awareness day

 To the vulture a

terrible fate has
been assigned.
this magnificent bird
misunderstood and maligned.
this carrion eater
has a huge job to do,
cleaning up after
all the mess and the yous.

But man has the most
ignoble distinction
of almost poisoning
this great bird into extinction.
in this ”master plan”
he has allowed disease
to flourish and spread.
when vultures could
be tidying up this soup instead.

So please everybody
before it is too late,
stand up for these
beautiful birds…
and advocate!
