Crow is a beautiful bird
Most unnoticed, most unsung
A silent worker, it cleans
The environment in the best
Possible way, I wish I could
Make the selfless scavenger
The supreme symbol of
World environment day.
It also tells me how loving
Parents need to be,
Genuinely caring and true;
For all humans, it's a lesson,
It nurtures its own children
It fosters, adopts a cuckoo too.
If the world would allow me
To chirp in my way,
I would make the crow
A befitting symbol of parent's day.
The crow is a blackbird,
Unsung, ignored, unheard.
We never look at it as a healer,
Seldom as a parent figure,
Partly because of its work,
Partly because of its color.
My people of the world,
Black is the color of honesty,
A supreme color of authority,
It's powerful, it's pure as the dew,
Black's inclusive, cause it accepts,
And absorbs all other hues,
And absorbs all other hues,
It's a color of truth and clarity,
It's a symbol of human dignity.
This is so beautiful: such a poignant message delivered with discreet dignity!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Glad you like it. Means a lot to me really.
DeleteThey are doing noble service, but i would say they are the most hated ones. Black is not valued, everywhere.
