"The crownest"
"The crowsnest"
I have seen those euphoric lights before death, those phantasms and conjurings of delusions of ones mind before ones final breath, from the battlefield of too my brethren and my nation the promise of fight and defend I have kept, and into oblivion like all man will be inevtabably be swept, for my entire life that crow of death at my footsteps and goings behind me has crept, much like its egg and my mother's womb i should have never left that crows nest, that ever looming shadow of the crow will haunt me and follow me always no matter where I go north, south, east, or west, like a predator of both bird and man i will resist and defy too my very best, but in the end both me and my fear that being the crow will eventually slumber and be at eternal rest.
