A piece of magic, a faked broken wing
It's love, pure. simple, a sight that lingers
Sentimentality aside, how could
This be anything but a mothers love
To pull along on a leash of weakness
The predator, a task that's endless
Again sentimental, but no surprise
There, where success is achieved by lies
"Hide the Secret" is such a human trait
When the opposition force is too great
To distract, to hide, to make things appear
Other than they are, learn to make a tear
In the way things are, and slip through a wing
Save the young, pull a fast one on the thromg
Of those who would hurt you or your young, but
How could evolution, blind, cause such love
The slow grind of mechanistic forces?
Or a benevolent creators courses?
We should know by now that often love is
A blind mechanistic force, a habit, has
No purpose beyond its own selfish needs
And a creator had best stick to seeds
The fifteenth way of looking at a
Lapwing is for a gene to go and
Make copies of itself and fill the pool
Fighting all the other genes with a silent howl
The faked broken wing is a happy chance
The Lapwing itself a DNA dance
It's love, pure. simple, a sight that lingers
Sentimentality aside, how could
This be anything but a mothers love
To pull along on a leash of weakness

Again sentimental, but no surprise
