Ipso Jure

Judge not the owl as master, cause

Of this vile death clamped in his claws.

An owl is nothing if not laws.

Scorn not the fox. As Owl, he too

Has racial duties he must do,

And is unto his law most true.

Yet there is that turns blood to curd

When through night's Order rips the word

That Law has pounced upon a bird.
