The Legend Of The Scarecrow

From Hope to Death

Once upon a time there was a scarecrow , a scarecrow who had no friends ,he worked in a wheat field the work wasn't very difficult but indeed it was very lonely.

Days and nights passed by with no one to talk to ,the only thing he could do was to look at the birds ,each time they flew by , he'd wave at them. but they never answered him ,they flew away as if they were afraid of him.

"I'm just a loser in the game of love , I'm just a stray boy in the shade , And how I wish to know what love is like To find someone to contemplate   "                   

                    One day the scarecrow did something forbidden ,he offered a bird some seeds but even so , the bird didn't seem to care ,the scarecrow wondered why nobody wanted to be his friend . and so time went by until one cold night ,a blind crow fell on his feet , the crow was shivering and starved to death .The scarecrow decided to take care of him , After several days the blind crow got better the scarecrow told the crow how he wrapped the bird in a scarf and gave him seeds to eat, before the crow flew off the scarecrow asked why the birds never wanted to be friends with the scarecrows ? . and the crow explained that the job of the scarecrows was to scare the poor birds , they are evil and despicable .Humiliated the scarecrow replied "it's not true ! take me , for example I'm not evil , and I'm a scarecrow" .and one more time , the scarecrow was left with no friends .

"So you're an angel meant to walk down here and you Believe  it's all divine ? and you don't play by all those temporal rules , Or you'll watch the world begin to die"

That same night, that scarecrow made a decision. The scarecrow wanted another job, he no longer wanted to frighten birds. Seeing his scarecrow talking, the farmer screamed. Terrified, the farmer woke up all his neighbors. He told everyone that his scarecrow had come to life and that could only be the work of the devil.  So they Locked him in a tower and Lighted fire on it . And the scarecrow was screaming but nobody cared except for a few crows flying around. One of them was the blind crow. His friends told him that the villages were burning a windmill where a scarecrow with a very long scarf was trying to hide. Then, the blind crow told them that he was the good scarecrow who once had saved his life. Moved by the story, the crows longed to save the scarecrow. But it was too late and they couldn ́t do anything. The scarecrow burned.

"Their evil eyes are looking down on me  and those who don't are losing sight of me , I Faced the rage to chase away , But here I am burning in disgrace and shame "

The crows waited until dawn, and when the flames had died down, they went up to the remains of the windmill, took the ashes of the scarecrow and flew high up, very high in the sky and up on high, they scattered the ashes through the air. The wind carried the ashes all across the county. The ashes flew side by side with all the birds. This way, the scarecrow never had to be alone again, because his ashes now were flying with his new friends. In memory of the tragic death of the scarecrow the blind crow and all his friends decided to dress with his ashes in the morning. And this is why, to this day all crows are black, in memory of the scarecrow who wanted to be friends with the birds.

"Withered roses dying on the ledge A withered dreamer standing on the edge He dreamt of love but woke up to pain , He never lost , Nor faded away ,they just cheated in this pitiful game  "
