The Ostrich and the Eagle
a #nostr #poem
The ostrich strips the eagle
Feathers fall to ground
The bird of faith is lost
The liberty bird is found
Torrential clouds will rain
All crooked emblem wings
Offering the purple queen
Our oily feathered kings
She’ll rip and tear and bite
Devouring old decrees
Shredding ancient edicts
Descended to their knees
Squawking violet fire
Triumphant in her crow
Bring down your heaven’s sight
On earth we help her grow
The future is this bird
Who runs upon the land
Behold our words protected
When the ostrich is at hand
So let the news be carried
Send forward this relay
Purple freedom landed
Prepare for her to stay
And if the battered eagle
Shall imitate the dove
Feigning veils of care
And phony cries of love
Unfurl your fearless feathers
Confront him fed to prey
Besmirch his fading night
The ostrich runs the day!
