I was awakened by the sound of evil in my land. I peered out from my nest and looked all around. I stirred, I stretched, I rubbed my eyes, I could not believe. The scene that lay before me was if it were a dream.

How dare you do this to my land, my people proud and free. Did you not for one moment know you would deal with me? Did you think I'd turn my back and fall right back to sleep? No, sir you are mistaken; 'tis Peace that I shall seek.

I flew away to the place that you had brought destruction and saw that man was already there readying for Construction. The Police, Firemen, EMT's volunteers galore. You can't ever keep us down, don't TRY anymore. For I have seen my people weep the last time for your pleasure. If I were you I would prepare for justice without measure.

I have been resting in my nest up in the Cypress Tree, but be forewarned, I'm now awake and you will HEAR from me. I am not a hating bird, I do not like to harm, but what you did is beyond belief and and I am coming Armed.

So rest assured you've woken me, and now I cannot sleep; not until America to her my promise keep. I shall watch and I shall wait until you think I'm through; but this my man you will see it is simply not true.

I've got my talon's sharpened, my beak is to the wind, and I shall guard America until the bitter end.
