The Raven flies, But just to die, For the children that it bears, Bit of the hand that fed them In a land bereft claimed fair. A world where god bids all to live When they say “If we dare”. A place where all that was is not, Yet The Raven does not care. The Raven, dead, Its children fed, Its life, long forgotten. Covered in red, They laid their heads, Leftovers, ever rotten. With its soul fled, The life it lead, Its memory now shotten, The land it left ignored its death, And upon it grew soft cotton.

Ode of Unkindness
The Raven flies, But just to die, For the children that it bears, Bit of the hand that fed them In a land bereft claimed fair. A world where god bids all to live When they say “If we dare”. A place where all that was is not, Yet The Raven does not care. The Raven, dead, Its children fed, Its life, long forgotten. Covered in red, They laid their heads, Leftovers, ever rotten. With its soul fled, The life it lead, Its memory now shotten, The land it left ignored its death, And upon it grew soft cotton.
