My friend Magiceye, posted this photograph of a crow getting the capital punishment, almost poked to death, watched by the Crow society. You may see it here at 365project.org.
With rules of civil society being changed, abused, and implemented with an eye on those in power , and the recent happenings in Guwahati and elsewhere, one just wondered if the crows were learning something......like the Bystander Effect.
struggling for open skies,
food,
and avoiding
powerful swooping
eagle eyed spies.
Did he offend
a neighbor
with a bad Kaw Kaw ?
Was he found
making eyes
at a local girl crow ?
Or is it a she crow,
who decided to elope
with a he crow
she scavenged around with..?
They were both found
beneath
the bougainvillea branch
sharing a chapati,
he retrieved from a kind balcony.
They poked him
and molested her
to bits,
two leading powerful
gunda crows,
impervious to being photographed.
And the rest of them,
amazingly,
simply stood around,
supposedly stunned,
but gutless,
proving the Bystander effect.
The crows have learned a lot
from us.
