Birds are silent

Birds are afraid

Hordes of raven are

Running the trade

Birds can’t speak

Birds can’t sing

In the Ravens world

Birds can’t use wings.

Disheartened birds are

Shedding in gloom

Donning the ravens

Discarded plumes

Now in the sky

Only ravens fly

And on every tree

Only ravens roost
