Ethical Poem

An ethical poem A big crow and a sparrow which had painted itself in the colour of a big bird to look masterful became friends Both suffered from a bombastic belief they could take on the elderly eagle and its brood. A virtuoso war a million other birds killed who only happened to be flying on peaceful errands. The Sahara became rubicund from a distance looked like a carpet for kings and potentates. From Eastern states, vultures came to feed and defend to get the big crow and the preening sparrow off their territory. The crow flew home, the sparrow took a bath to look common. It did not help the sparrow it had done crow´s bidding was shunned and had to fly from suburban gardens to another and sleepless sit under a bush.
