“Crows and rooks are rather clever birds,
Forever discriminated, as stupid and gratuitous,
Because of their colour,
Yet, I fail to see how their colour,
Defines their worth,
For they are incredible specimens,
And are far from being redundant.

“Crows and rooks are rather clever birds,
Forever discriminated, as stupid and gratuitous,
Because of their colour,
Yet, I fail to see how their colour,
Defines their worth,
For they are incredible specimens,
And are far from being redundant.
That was a good one Abhinav.
MLK Jr. once famously said, “I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” ~From the “I have a dream” speech
True! Good one!
Fact of life. It is not about the container but the content.
Good work
Well done!! Yes! A brilliant metaphor and such an important message. The world is in much better hands with youth like you who love poetry and have the courage to use it to express deep thoughts and calls to action. I’m glad your teacher’s reprimand brought you here! 🙂
