Murder of Drone Crows

Stare
Stare

A murder of Drone Crows
Swarmed above the protest

Swivelling above the crowd
Pausing on targets identified

Hacking into their brain implants
"Disperse!"
"Disperse!"
Messages sent along descending 
Neural pathways to their feet

Crow demands!

Directive tingles, itches

Pepper smoke
Released
Compliance accomplished

Mission complete...

Crows stack in darkened alleys
Waiting for 
Next ignition commands

Stare
Stare

Thanks James! didn't think anyone knew (or wanted) to say anything 'bout this scribble o' mine! one of my young nephews said at our outdoor gathering..."did you see those Crows hovering over us uncle?" yes I did! He said "they're drones!" blew my mind!
