the black crows


The black crows
On lamp posts and trees
Sometimes at rooftops
Cackling it away

In my time in the village
Of those decades ago
The older people would say
These birds bring bad omen

The black crows bring death
So they would say to the children
How true it was nobody knew
Death did come for the old

In the General Hospital Klang
There you will find many crows
In the evening hundreds of them
Waiting at the nearby trees

So how true it is?
The deaths in hospital
The bad omen
Maybe it is just old men tales
