Black cockatoo

Cockatoo, cockatoo, black as the night sky
Eyes deep as the Mariana Trench
Soul quiet, meaningful
Sitting in the trees
Watching the trees
Where has your land gone
Angel wings, fluttering down from the clouds
Cockatoos crack a crow crashing against wind
Diamond in the rough, so so special
You're a moon shining in the night sky no one
Noticing you, like a shadow hidden behind me
We must save you
Your beauty
That totem of peace, rain, majesty
Why do we hurt beautiful creatures like you
We need you, we survive with you
We are you
Modern days are hurting you
Why can't we go back
Dear angel, black cockatoo
