evil lurked in shadows
people thought, Crazed in fright
superstitions swarming
bad omens dispersing
protection for the paranoid.
A bird was trapped for evil deeds
Omens were wrapped in their flight
Seeing two gave bad luck,
one meant death was tonight.
Misconstrued through fears
an intelligent and cunning bird
found guilty for hundreds of years.
Stories traveled of the bird
by folk lore they flew
with the dark side children heard.
A bird misread even now
superstitions gone away
dirty replaced evil
bad is still around today.
Don’t you think the time is here
for the bad rap
on the crow to finally disappear?

Crows
A bird of many created disguises
kept in stories by cultures and times.
Observed by some taking care of its sick,
deemed protectors of their children and home.
Others who closely listened to them commune
believe them to be a passer of knowledge
they say Stop and listen when they caw.
Even so, to the ones who run the show
this intelligent and cunning bird
is no more then a foul, dirty,
scavenger you chase
with a broom.
Come on, stop and listen to the crow
they have more to teach then you know.
