The unkindness of Ravens<\/p>\n
the great Corvidae<\/p>\n
ebony black<\/p>\n
come join the affray<\/p>\n
a realisation undeniably so<\/p>\n
stubborn as Hell<\/p>\n
but so in the flow<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hitchcock was able<\/p>\n
to frighten them he<\/p>\n
Knew clouds of \u00a0black birds<\/p>\n
most don\u2019t want to see<\/p>\n
Crows, Jays and Magpies<\/p>\n
Ravens and Rooks<\/p>\n
Jackdaws and Choughs<\/p>\n
you will see us in books<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
imaginary and magical<\/p>\n
thats who we are<\/p>\n
a tangible<\/p>\n
asset<\/p>\n
some say a star<\/p>\n
weighty and pithy<\/p>\n
of substance are we<\/p>\n
connected<\/p>\n
related<\/p>\n
in our constancy<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
a world of contrariness<\/p>\n
everyone free<\/p>\n
antagonising Farmers<\/p>\n
frightening \u00a0their wives<\/p>\n
protect the great Tower<\/p>\n
with all of \u00a0our lives<\/p>\n
be as diverse<\/p>\n
thinking out of the box<\/p>\n
inventive and showy<\/p>\n
solidarity ROCKS<\/p>\n
We are the great scavengers<\/p>\n
Noisy as hell<\/p>\n
Gutteral croaks<\/p>\n
we do that so well.<\/p>\n
we all look alike<\/p>\n
a dark prophecy<\/p>\n
clever and fearless<\/p>\n
our mythology<\/p>\n
we all have such purpose<\/p>\n
a a genuine mind<\/p>\n
we can talk<\/p>\n
we can walk<\/p>\n
wherever we are dined<\/p>\n
on grain crops<\/p>\n
on insects<\/p>\n
birds eggs<\/p>\n
sometimes<\/p>\n
berries and carrion<\/p>\n
raw meat and rhymes<\/p>\n
emanate from us<\/p>\n
where ever we go<\/p>\n
we are the Corvidae<\/p>\n
and we all know.<\/p>\n
Part of \u00a0our \u00a0legend<\/p>\n
the myth of it all<\/p>\n
protecting the tower<\/p>\n
Wakefield our call<\/p>\n
jubilee, Harris,Gripp and Ricky<\/p>\n
Erin and Merlina<\/p>\n
and Dear Poppy<\/p>\n
thousands of others camping around<\/p>\n
in rookeries church towers<\/p>\n
tall trees that abound<\/p>\n
we are the eminence<\/p>\n
well ,placed \u00a0 And aligned<\/p>\n
undeviating<\/p>\n
each with a mind<\/p>\n
on collecting, detecting<\/p>\n
all we can find<\/p>\n
pitching and rolling<\/p>\n
flutter and shake<\/p>\n
break dancing chattering<\/p>\n
we are not fake?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
blasts gusts and blowing<\/p>\n
the winds are our way<\/p>\n
fill up our lungs<\/p>\n
with effective display<\/p>\n
our vital force<\/p>\n
and our allotted span<\/p>\n
we are enlivened<\/p>\n
and together we can<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
zoom to the heavens<\/p>\n
sit atop the stones<\/p>\n
at Stonehenge<\/p>\n
the Sarsons<\/p>\n
wearing the tones<\/p>\n
the great resonation<\/p>\n
the sentient glare<\/p>\n
we are the Corvidae<\/p>\n
and all are aware<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
more like hard hail<\/p>\n
than snowflakes for sure<\/p>\n
we can fly silent<\/p>\n
but there is more<\/p>\n
our reverberation<\/p>\n
can frighten, it can<\/p>\n
acreaming and bellowing<\/p>\n
sounds like a pan<\/p>\n
being hit with a hammer<\/p>\n
a darkening sphere<\/p>\n
Black Lead \u00a0and burnt cork<\/p>\n
calling up fear<\/p>\n
enquiring minds<\/p>\n
a questioning gaze<\/p>\n
our curiosity<\/p>\n
it always pays.<\/p>\n
