Crow's second Lesson Crow flew about the coastal strip  Enjoying the scenic view of mother nature Then he stopped Stopped in his tracks By the change of scenery Worn out corrugated iron roofs Newly dug graves,small in size,carpeting the entire village Young innocent blood,now gone cold,crow mused He flew closer,trenches full of effluents flowing freely Flowing freely on this people,poor people's land The company's structure,imposing itself Like  the statue of liberty No standard operating procedure,from the central government It seems,impunity reigns supreme Where does this community's future lie?
