a pig and Eagles

the pig may wish
to be an eagle
but in the end
the eagle inspires
awe -

the pig is
simple
an unhealthy breakfast
after a life of muck and grime,
though he might wish otherwise
if his eyes could
see

why can't I be like
Them? with beautiful
wings? with vermillion
and silver wings that
have patterns
unique and
precious like
They are
