I am just a raven I was the one who was sent To see the waters rise and recede But my story forgotten by a dove Now you ignore me But yet you mistake me For a measly crow When I squawk, you tell me to shut up But when I am silent, you mock me So I squawk, and it repeats I pick up your scraps and waste Left on the battlefield With my hard work and precious time Yet you look up to the soaring eagle Forgetting who cleaned your mess I wanted to write this to you To remember me But now I mourn with these phrases Because who would need to listen to me?
Raven is a poem about people who have so much potential and good character. However, they are forgotten and disguised.
