My democracy

And then the crows cawed so loudly,
That the swan song was not heard.

The cacophony of the crows was accepted
as the collective wisdom of the crowd,
and a decision was made, for all birds.

The swans, the peacocks, the flamingos,
they suffered
Because they could not scream
As loudly as the crows.

The sparrows, the cuckoos,
The parrots and the mynahs
For safety
flew with the crows.


And that is how
the decision was made
when the crows cawed
instead of reading.
