Martin Schleske schrieb 2019 ein Essay über Schrei des Rabens, den er vor seinem Fenster gehört hatte. Schleske interpretierte den Ruf als Weckruf, der auf das fortschreitende, massive Artensterben hinweisen sollte – ein Weckruf nach Gerechtigkeit für die gesamte Schöpfung (Mt. 6:33). Das Lied „Call of Raven“ baut auf diesem Essay auf.
Call of Raven
Creation awaits your healing
Being crushed by human hands
Hear the creatures screaming
For justice in Your lands
The oceans roar their chorus
Of outrage and detest
Once they sang You praises
Now they die – from manmade pest…
Plants showed many colors
Now losing lives and count
Longing for breath and water
In worldwide money-stricken haunt
Beast are groaning sorrow
All creatures come to join
Mourning for losing one another
While mankind – counts their coins…
Hear the call of raven
A song of beauty and of praise
Hear the final calling
Bowing meekly before your grace
Earth is losing balance
Seasons – winding in a swirl
Tides go mad in dancing
Flood and heat in wild turmoil
You, Lord, hear their calling
You see their wounds and fears
Your heart feels their mourning
You hear the call of raven – in your ears!
Hear the call of raven
A song of beauty and of praise
Hear the final calling
Bowing meekly before your grace
