Birds of a Feather
The whitest doves in their perfection
become obsessed with self selection
They all live on, so reassured
That everything different must be impure
When faced with a bird of an opposite color,
Whom the doves assume has value much smaller,
Such as the ravens, viewed as inferior
Become mistreated because of their exterior.
Ripped from their nests and put in cages
To toil forever, without any wages
For the greedy doves think them undeserving
of anything more than serving
For generations, they were oppressed
Until their mistreatment was finally addressed
But doves are white, and ravens are black
Still separated by the quills on their back
Why, oh why can't all birds fly free
And live, side by side, in civility.
When, oh when will birds of a feather
Stop hating each other and work together?
