• The Raven’s Edict

    Dark as night,
    Prejudice and death,
    The lifeblood of a black Mockingbird,
    Spilt,
    Innocent,
    But not free,
    Grounded,
    By the chains of society,
    Will those who can,
    Stand up for what is right?
    Dragged before a Counsel of Crows,
    Cloaked in a Ravens’ mask,
    You will never be free,
    You can never belong,
    A Mockingbird,
    In a Crow’s world,
    Humiliated before a justice system,
    Distorted with spite,
    The sweet Songbirds fall,
    Leaving the Raven’s arrogant shout,
    Guilty, guilty, guilty,
    The iniquitous Crow cries,
    Guilty…
