Crows in the Sky

Crows up in the night sky

Little, insignificant clouds,

Melting into the greater shadow.

Traitors soar ahead, to the edge of the dark

Seeking the glory of blossoming day,

For which they are shunned.

Eyes burning, the murder arrives

And the Others fall off the ceiling of the world

Like veiled stars.

"They are gone, they were beasts

Driven by brutish ambition", they caw.

None of them were truly noble.

Author's Note

Inspired by Julius Caesar. (The Shakespeare play, not the historical figure.)

Reviews

[Stefon Napier]

Very proud of this poem for some reason. It reads like one would read a truth. There is good wisdom here.I do think that in the third stanza saying"like sinking stars" wasn't needed. Again I really like this poem. This is something I'd carry around with me to read every now and then. Good Work.
