A Murder of crows

A murder of crows 
Why they are called this? 
Nobody knows! 
Do they commit murder? 
Do they kill on sight? 
I don’t think so! 
Why look at them in this unseemly light?
They look evil that’s for sure! 
Those black eyes so dark 
That beak so long and sharp 
Those talons belong to a death dealer? 
What a scary sight! 
They are scavengers 
They do steal shiny stuff 
But do they deserve this slight?
I don’t know: ask their prey? 
What do they say?
