Kingdom economy
we
live
in
an
economy
of
scarcity
we
gulls
cry
for
more
and
fight
for
scraps
until
there
aren’t
even
crumbs
left
in the economy of abundance there is plenty
and we feed each others’ chicks so none go hungry
and there is enough for all
because we have learned the art of generosity
and use the gifts we have today
instead of clinging onto them for tomorrow

Wonderful use of bird imagery! And shrewd, but sadly accurate, observation. May we soon learn to feed each other’s chicks!
Great use of form to match the message of the poem!
