Poems

The Real Revolutionary

The Mighty Falcon came out of the sun like the Son of Man,

Its mighty wings created waves as it traversed the oceans afar,

From the shores of Latin America in the Americas,

Landed and perched in the Caribbean,

  

Then soared over the Continent of Africa to the Cape of Good Hope;

Liberated the indigenous people from the claws of European vultures; 

Breathed into them the spirit of revolution

So that they too could revolt against oppressions,

Trodden domination and liberated themselves.

The Mighty Falcon soared and accomplished its mission

And changed the hands of time forever.

  

Its era is over, a job well done;

It’s time to reincarnate into another time and space.

Viva la Mighty Falcon, history has absolved you

Now it’s time for you to return to the sun.

So my friends, be cheerful

Let’s not mourn its transitioning

Let’s cherish and uplift its legacy.
