Here he stands in greatness
Colorful feathers spread in full
No shame, quite priceless
Truly a symbol of the goddess.
Every bird bows down at his sight
Either in awe or in fright
Seeing him cloaked in colorful hues
Spite-filled towards his kind.
"Look at the others, so ugly
But look at me for I am so lovely
Here I stand at the pedestal!"
Says the peacock, so prideful.
A bird of no beauty crosses his path
The female of his species.
Still with his head held high
"No! She is unworthy", he denies.
But his heart continues to cry out
What a fool he truly was
Ignoring the growing pain in his chest
Thinking he deserves only the best.
As she approached him, his heart beats faster
Their eyes met and my how he had fallen
Though fallen into great despair
He was but a blurred image to the peahen.
She just passed by him, completely unnoticed
Going for the other, it made him quite pissed
"Why him?! Aren't I the one?" He questioned
Shouting at the female in aggression!
"Sorry, but you're not for me" She replied
"Nor to anyone for that matter"
"Though you feel love yet it's empty inside"
"For you, your "majesty", are full of pride!"
He flew away in anger
Away from the forest, away from her!
Only to be shot dead in flight
Realizing, "Oh God, she was right..."
