The Crows

Keep Ascending

By Earl W. PearlPublished 2 years ago Updated 2 years ago 1 min read

The only bird that dares to peck an eagle is the crow

This poem can be a teaching tool for people we all know

A crow will ride atop the eagle pecking at its neck

The crow may be a nuisance but it doesn’t have respect

The eagle spreads its wings ascending higher in the sky

It may not seem like much but there’s a perfect reason why

The eagle disregards what we would think would make it seethe

It simply keeps ascending ‘til the crow can hardly breathe

The crow eventually falls away, the atmosphere’s too thin

So people, keep ascending and your “crows” will never win
