Watching The Lethality

I 

The blend of gene and name. 
How you carry the 
legacy? 

II 

We are losing the war. 
You are winning 
the birds. 

III 

The sparrows have left 
the nest of man, 
in search of moving homes. 

IV 

How do you spell the ruins? 
I have never seen 
a perfect shape. 

V 

Chicken-livered. 
Why did you try to 
confront the wall?
