inspired after watching,'March of the penguins.'


penguin

In black and white
A flash of gold.
From sapphire blue
To ice white cold.

A silvered black
In single file.
White bellies that march,
For mile on mile.

To see as them
The dream of nights
Created by,
Gods northern lights,

For to this world,
A generation.
Born into
Refridgeration.

Wait for a mother
And suns' return.
So fathers live,
And offspring learn.

Lifes' instict tells
That they're born free.
And pulls them to
a cool blue sea.

Thats filled with danger,
Not with men.
And kept that way
It'll happen again.

i haven't seen the film though i do know what it is about by ads for it and clips i have seen. a good piece, some places where you need an edit which i have noted below :)

Gods northern lights - God's northern lights, northern lights are belonging to god so an apostrophe is used.
Refridgeration - Refrigeration
suns' return - sun's return
Lifes' instict tells - Life's instinct tells
Thats filled - That's filled
