Sunday Whirl's 11 of 12 given words:
born line return source still journey 
cycle sky stand  stones tell

Born to kill
Survival on the line
To return empty handed
a betrayal to the chicks

The source clearly there
on the ground but still a
journey to be performed
The cycle of living emanating
from  the sky a daily occurrence

Parents with a brood of their
own could not stand to see
hungry mouths upon returning

But men with hearts of stone 
known to abandon mother and
child to fend for themselves

Natural propensity of child-bearing
and child-upbringing should tell
of the heavy responsibility
