A Black Bird Poem by Adorn Keketso

When the power of Love overcomes the Love of power the world will know peace.
- Jimi Hendrix


'the world is too much with us'
He decides to be on his own
flying high close to the moon
near paradise in the world of perfection
He soar with angels
where there's no right or wrong
in lonely lands,
lonely nights he endure,
for insomniac sinful owls owe sleeples nights

He drinks in every ocean
from West to North
East to South
Earth to Heaven
Jupiter to Venus!
No patriotic Acts
He sit and eats in every country
No lands Acts to limit his freedom
No tresspassing!
He sit alone but with love in the heart
he have long replaced power with Love
No hatred to deter his happiness
No racism
for colour is a mental reflection
a delusion of grendeaur
a figment of imagination
he wrapped God in his soul
he's no pious to any indoctrination
No religion(s) to seperate their Testament with God (Love thy neighbour as you'd want to be Loved)


He hide in the light of blue mountains
in the palm of your hand
and in the conscious of your mind
and in the presence of your Love
a falcon of Love he is
a predator of Compassion
He fly high in the skies to curse the world for what it has become
Blood defile life
the love of power
catarlyse cruelty
and cupidity over life is absolute power
look @South Africa
(Marikana)
Syria...
Asad is taking innocent lives
American drones creates collecteral damage -

something is enevitable
Death is reality
the day the bird dies
He shall know peace
for freedom is an illussion
that's why Love is still elusive!
