The crows outside my window Feast on what I have done And the birds upon the wire Toss with restless desire For what I’ve done I’ve locked away In a cage if prickly bush And only the smart Crafty black crows Can slip to see my mush Yet last, the crowbrids call A shrill that warns them all And ah —alas— in frenzy of fear The crafty black crow Seeing no exit clear Frantics and pushes All against the spines And traps itself in And having no option All it does is scream And no one could hear It’s desperate dying dream of Freedom And soon enough, as days passed by The crows feast again On mush twice the size And the birds on the wire Still violently wish That they too could pick If only it wasn’t so sick
