Scarecrow


He used to stand under the sun… and under the rain… sometimes in the darkness… and sometimes facing the storms… scaring birds… fearing dogs… and fighting the wind while tied in the same place… Most of the times, he was made of wood… always wearing funny clothes… There were many of him in the same field… He was only there to make life easier for other people… Facing all the troubles and carrying all the burdens… Guarding the crops and defending the place… When he becomes old… he gets thrown away and gets easily… replaced… He has the virtual power of controlling the field and the birds… but in fact his supremacy is nothing but a… fantasy… They used to call him the Scarecrow, though… deep inside himself he wasn’t… He was just another powerless mindless empty headed and hopeless executer.

I don't think "Scarecrow" isn't just another powerless mindless empty headed and hopeless executer.

According to wikipedia "A scarecrow is a device, traditionally a human figure dressed in old clothes, or mannequin, that is used to discourage birds such as crows from disturbing crops."

The corps grow and help building another "scarecrows". I think this is life.

i don't think it is a good idea in the first place.. always wondered why on earth would a bird that hates man so badly be afraid of humble scarecrow...

Trapped!

I feel trapped and lonely. Lonely inside myself, like it’s never ending. I know that nothing is forever lasting, this gives hope to my mind...
