Come to the beach with me
And watch the pelicans die,
Hear their feeble screams
Calling to an empty sky
Where once they played
And scouted for food,
Not scavenging like the gulls
But plummeting unafraid
Into friendly waters.

And watch the pelicans die,
Listen to their feeble screams
Calling to an empty sky.

And save them in their final toil
Or work a miracle from the shore,

Unless the mind is thoroughly charge beforehand, the proverbial spark of genius, if it should manifest itself, probably will find nothing to ignite. — Paul Flory
