"When God given gift is mistaken as self earned power, people become arrogant and arrogance leads to fall"    By Poet.

The crow we see, was once a beautiful bird
Sweet as a lark and white as a swan
The world stood in rapturous glee
As he poured out melodies with such elan
     
Proud and haughty over his gorgeous form
He reckoned himself to be the crown of creation
To all other birds he was a cynosure of charm
And he feasted on their praises of mad veneration 

Presumptuously dwelling on altitudes high
He thought the world was revolving round him
Looking at others with contempt and disdain
He wanted everyone to dance to his whim

At morn when other birds twittered and chirped
And sang devotional lays in praise of God, 
The crow refused to sing any song
As he deemed himself to be far above the Lord

God wanted to teach the arrogant bird a lesson 
A messenger with warning from Heaven was sent
‘Unless you turn humble and with respect others treat  
God’s wrath will fall and you shall lament’

Sneering at this and rebuking the terrestrial envoy, 
With haughty arrogance, the crow went his way.
By dusk, he flew down to perch on a tree
Alas, the branch gave way to his utter dismay! 

Losing balance, he slid down into a can of tar
Disappointed was he as he emerged all black
But hoped that a dip in water would wash away the dirt 
And once more he would be, to his former self back

Soon God’s messenger with ire reappeared in a vision
This time, stark were his words of admonition
‘Henceforth you and your progeny will all be black
Ugly in appearance, scavengers you shall be known! 

‘In place of the tuneful melody, you were blessed
Your sound will be sonorous and rough’
Saying this, the apparition vanished out of sight
And the crow knew his life ahead would be tough

He waited impatient for the dawn to break
Before all other birds were up and awake
He decided to try and test his sound
And was startled at what came in the wake

“Caw…. Caw…. Spurted the sound from his beak
Jarring and raucous, harsh and husky! 
While other birds laughed over and celebrated his fall
The poor defeated crow was left grouchy and dusky
