Pretty stupid, but interesting. Open to interpretation due to the lack of punctuation.

The Crow

Perched under the harvest moon

The crow remembers

And weeps

For Gaea's sons*

For Rhea's sons*

For Hera's sons*

Lords of all that once stood proud

Now are ruins

Perched under the harvest moon

The crow remembers

And flies away

*In Greek mythology, GAEA was the earth. Her union with Uranus, the sky, brought forth the Titans and some ugly monsters. The Titan Cronos led his brothers in a revolt against their father. He married his sister RHEA and their children were the Olympiads, the most famous gods and goddesses in Greek myths. Cronos didn't want his children rebelling against him the same way he did with his father, so he ate them as they were born. I don't want to go on forever but basically, Zeus doesn't get eaten and beats his father, cuts open his stomach and frees his brothers and sisters. One of the sisters he frees is HERA, who becomes his wife. Zeus later becomes most powerful god in all the myths. So the matriarchal line goes Gaea, Rhea, Hera. The end. Hope that cleared some stuff up.
