Psychic Raven

The Psychic Raven
(Inspired from E.A.
Poe- The Raven)

The red hawk stares across the prairie wide
The eagle glides over all that he is lord
A lonesome vulture sails above a mountainside
And the psychic raven whispers
evermore

The red fox hunts throughout a charcoal night
The raccoon searches on the river shore
A wary rabbit keeps his castle den in sight
And the psychic raven whispers
evermore

The bobcat prowls around a woodland pond
The beaver hides behind his oaken door
Fireflies pulsate like a magic wand
And the psychic raven whispers
evermore

Pick-rel lurk among the water grass
Bullheads patrol the muddy floor
Minnows lie to hide their silver mass
And the psychic raven whispers
evermore

Stones are served to famished border towns
Prelude to an ever-forming war
Rebellion brings another cap-tal down
And the psychic raven whispers
evermore
