Canada Day

In a flighty display of humanity's
envy of the casual ease of avian
flight, the formation of warplanes
roars through the cloud-littered sky
in an impressive flyby, a jaunty
braggadocio display of power
sound and elegance of an entirely
different quality of the creatures
that the creative genius of nature
bred and cultivated. Given to the
mechanical science of minds to
whom engineering a vessel to
break the bonds of gravity was a
gift by nature to the precocious,
emulation of her bipedal creatures
dissatisfied they were not also 
blueprinted with hollow bones,
wings and aerial aspiration. Now
they fly and nature looks the other 
way as a nation celebrates its nod
to one hundred and fifty years as a
country which nature endowed with
endless lakes, forests and mountains.
