Black Drongo Black Drongo, King of Crows, Bruised and Maimed From a Lifetime of Fights The crippled bird; A poor imitation Of what he used to be Totters to freedom Gingerly! Battle scarred and wearied He eyes the blue skies beseechingly; Shaking off the clotted blood And muck from his proud wings Determined not to perch Ever again Summons up his breath For the last Flight He takes to the skies!

Black Drongo

Black Drongo,

King of Crows,

Bruised and Maimed

From a Lifetime of Fights

The crippled bird;

A poor imitation

Of what he used to be

Totters to freedom

Gingerly!

Battle scarred and wearied

He eyes the blue skies beseechingly;

Shaking off the clotted blood

And muck from his proud wings

Determined not to perch

Ever again

Summons up his breath

For the last Flight

He takes to the skies!
