Guaro

The talons of the eagle have impaled
And to his nest I'm taken.
Shock has made me senseless.
My hands just won't stop shaking.
The world I knew has come and gone,
But life as usual still goes on.
My muscles, they're still quaking.

     How can I climb from this home
     Of a bird with so much power?
     Lost my thought in the buzz
     Of the bees around the flower.
     My mind went quick
     In that little trick
     Upon the golden tower.

The shot's long gone
In a moonshiner's wink.
My eyes stay closed
Although I just blink.
That guaro packs some power.
