The Dove

The serene dove descended from the sky

And encountered others nice and kind

Elegantly it traversed the town

It lived with crows that had family in a place full of fear

Where there was war and things weren’t at all fair

They wanted a home where it wanted a home where they wouldn’t shed a tear

There the dove’s home was sedate

There freely it explored the land

There the dove welcomed crows trying to relocate

These crows came from a place tense with sorrow

Where death was like nothing and life a horror

They never knew if they would ever see tomorrow

More and more of these crows came

The doves had no room to stay

The crows kicked them out, leaving no place to claim

The dove flew and flew in search of a home

But none was to be found as good as its own

Nothing was as nice after a while of having to roam

The dove then came back for its natural right

It asked nicely for its land but crows rejected with might

Leaving no option for the dove but to put up a fight

The crows won after a short, deadly quarrel

Sending the dove to a cramped, useless realm

This, thought the dove, is not kind but immoral

The dove continued to try and rebel

Then met new doves who tried the same as well

They also had the same story to tell

The doves were oppressed

They wanted their home and land

It was their right to own and possess

The war went on and doves were killed

By the crows who did it for thrill

Who caused the life of a dove unfulfilled

The dove was crammed with none hearing its call

Completely separated from the crows by a wall

When the dove returned to its home it felt very small

The doves were hated and had no rights

One by one they were killed and out of sight

But they still try, but barely resist and fight

When will the crows return the land?

The dove is mad and tries to confront the situation at hand

The dove plans to do something daring and grand

It flies over the wall and to home it dared to go

But on the way it is killed by the evil crows

The dove had no voice and lost tomorrow
