Ask the birds flying in the air…: A poem 

You know those little birds,  

peeking from the woodwork of the skies 

Those versicoloured enigmatic Young Turks 

Those Robin Hoods seeking justice 

with their alleged profusion of injustices 

How they began a cancel culture 

to teach the vultures of culture what destiny is desirous of!?! 

Mercury said: “We are the Champions, my friend!” 

We’ll keep on fighting till the end!” 

Is that true in untimely deaths! 

Sometimes, you must throw the book away, 

without getting to the end, without summarising the epilogue! 

Is a lonely dragon sacrificing once more for preservation of all 

Does a dragon pretend he is homosexual because he hides (and wants to protect) his true love in his soul, 

that he doesn’t want anyone to explore the stairways of  

spiraling through an eternity that only he is aware of! 

James had to lose his Sarah in the reality of tyranny, but she was always present in his soul! 

Dante Alighieri’s Beatrice was not just a dream, or hallucination, however which way you may look at it! 

Joseph, did you ever forget your Jacob and Rachel 

as you wandered in the hallways of Thebes 

Or did you set the stage for Moses (Akhenaten) in Tel-el-Amarna 

So, he would lead the chosen people (the expats) back to the Promised Land. 

Joseph, you made the difference between slave poverty and ministerial riches 

Even the Pharaoh began to love you despite Egyptian bigotry. 

They priesthood still hated Moses, till they usurped him 

It took Moses to kill a Man, and turn sticks to serpents to manifest the Great Escape! 

Yet, you knew your intense sadness, Joseph, of the loss and betrayal; 

Would I have forgiven like you did – Would I ever forgive, the Labans, the Saint Pauls, 

The Philip the Fairs, the Pope Clements (the V), the Ananus ben Ananuses  

(who condemned James under duress from the powerful Roman spy Saint Paul?) 

If forgiveness counts, why is history so replete with the crimes by the criminals 

against the dragons? At least, Jacob would remind Esau 

that there was nothing stolen between brothers 

if Paradise that was lost had to be regained! 

Did John Milton have it all wrong-end front(!) 

For, the Templars obtained Europe very briefly 

And then lost it all to compelled torture, death, and disrepute and disgusting treachery! 

But ask the brave birds flying in the air… 

Can their treasures ever be stolen, 

even if the predators seem more overwhelming and powerful?
