Mystery of Crow and Mockingbird
The mockingbird chased the crow through the sky
"I will pluck all your feathers and peck out your eyes"
"This is such a high price for your eggs", Crow replied,
To which Mockingbird answered, "This is why you must die."
Crow laughed and said, "No, This is why I must Fly Fly Fly."
A poor man stole bread, to feed his starving child
So they cut off his hand
As the sheiks and the mullahs, soaked the oil from the land,
With desert gold beguiled.
Oh poor man, is this is a bitter pill?
Your child is hungry still
Allah scratched his head and said
Doesn't anyone one down there kno my will?
To which Jesus answered, "Today they will bury me
Beneath their religion,
And all I can say is,"I was sick and you visited me
I was hungry and you fed me, I was naked and you clothed me,
This is my joy" but they labor for toys
As they turn a blind eye and
Pass me by.
The hawk stood proudly on the ledge
Looking for prey.
The crow and the mockingbird and a few other birds flew around him
Shouting, "Go Away".
The hawk barely noticed their cries
He had nothing to say-
They were just food in his eyes.
