Crows are rare birds.
Ask me why they’re
So and I’ll answer
“Go ask the crows!”
Though they can,
And act it out like
Their peer birds,
Crows are atypical.
Crows are black,
Gregarious, sharp;
Crows are revered,
Feared, ravenous,
Yet, little does any
Know that crows,
Like smart kids,
“Never forget”!
Black and mythical,
Black and ominous,
Those are crows,
Yes, crows for you!
A murder of their
Kith and kin, plus
Their raucous caws
Plunge humanity
Into manic drama;
Yet, crows, like
Humanity, like
Kids, “never forget”!
From the Greeks
To the Norse of
Yore, from Native
Americans to
The Ogoni,
Tales of the crows
Are one and the same:
Crows can fly and,
They “never forget”!
