“The mother pelican wounded herself, striking her breast withe the beak to feed her young with her blood to prevent starvation.” William Saunders
Note: in another version the young attack the mother who kills them, afterwards piercing herself and spilling her blood over them in order to revive them.
No Amount
Such a dangerous time to be
voting for pelicans
we the children of the revolution,
tired and disillusioned ,
striking back,
an apocryphal three times
only to be stabbed, killed
by the so called trusted ones,
guardians of our morality
which they keep in a box someplace
and no amount of mothers blood will
revive the dead ones now.
