Justice for the Birds
A crow, a raven, a grackle, birds so dark,
were apprehended in the park.
They stood in a line-up. They were caught.
Which was the grackle? Which was not?
Locked up, they were - a bad assumption.
What they need is not redemption.
They just need another trial,
A guilty snow-white dove, meanwhile,
sits in the sun and wears a smile.
