The Ippicus Tree
High on the ippicus treesits a bird dressed in black
Singing songs about war
spying on thy neighbor
Dancing in the wind
like pearls in the sea
Displayed only for those
who think they can see
For it's not the Ippicus tree
that makes him so tall
It's the blood on his wings
and hatred in his call
Strikes lightning unpleasant
yet pleasant to see
Fly away symbol of tyranny
go back to your creed
