A Flight Can Make You Fall

 I was with the foxes but the crows took over.
They said I wasn't meant to be a rover

Nor that I should be in command
if I didn't want to crash-land.
Ravens wouldn't like me because I couldn't fly
but crows would see me eye to eye.
So, I left the leash but you cannot say,
that I've ever been a stray.
I avoided unkindness
but, nevertheless,
I got myself into dissimulation
through participation
in a murder or two.
