In each poem, the main character is eager to sacrifice others, but when it comes to sacrificing themselves, they are not so excited. However, in "The Birds", he knows everyone will have to die eventually, but in "At Least It Wasn't Me", the main character thinks Death only wants one soul, and then he realizes that Death wants another. He realizes that everything that he just did to the first sacrifice will probably happen to him.
The message that these poems are sending is that you shouldn't be so quick to throw someone else under the bus. If you did something bad, don't blame someone else. It will only delay you getting caught and you will just get in even more trouble for not being truthful in the first place.
Death and the birds are blame. They take all the sacrifices until they get the person that is sacrificing everyone else. Blame will keep taking victims until it catches the culprit.
So be honest my children. Because if you're not... Death will take you as its next victim and birds will feast on your lifeless corpse! *Insert evil laugh*
