Black Bird

Have you heard of the black bird?
     That comes at night, gives children a fright.
     They will scream, 
     There’s a monster under the bed,
     But their please will be reject.
     On deaf ears fell their cries,
     Until it subsides

     He has a beak like a hawk,
     Kicked out by his flock.
     Flew down, to Earth,
     To separate the righteous’ one herd.

     He prey on innocent souls,
    Manipulate them under his control.
    He clawed deep into their flesh,
    To release some of his pest

    Not reaching out for support,
    They look distort.
    He put them under his spell,
    Prepared them for his hell.
