Bald Eagle szöveg

Once so rare, so secluded

Doomed by DDT back then

But in today's time renewed

And multiple pairs come

Their aeries are enormous

Along the water's edge

Flying fishermen soaring

Diving to grasp their prey

So majestic in flight

Dwarfing a trailing gull

Gliding gracefully onward

Upon zephyrs that flow

Above the shallowed corridors

In search of prey, opportunistic

Getting the lay of the land

This winged sentinel swoops

But at day's end dimming sun

The dying rays send all home

To roost when cold climbs in

And sleep overtakes a regent

DDT:
Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, commonly known as DDT, is a colorless, tasteless, and almost odorless crystalline chemical compound, an organochlorine. Originally developed as an insecticide, it became infamous for its environmental impacts. By October 1945, DDT was available for public sale in the United States. Although it was promoted by government and industry for use as an agricultural and household pesticide, there were also concerns about its use from the beginning Opposition to DDT was focused by the 1962 publication of Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring. It talked about environmental impacts that correlated with widespread use of DDT in agriculture in the United States, and it questioned the logic of broadcasting potentially dangerous chemicals into the environment with little prior investigation of their environmental and health effects. The book cited claims that DDT and other pesticides caused cancer and that their agricultural use was a threat to wildlife, particularly birds.
