Flock Of Birds In Unison Out Of Nowhere | Poetry of Mankh |Axisoflogic.com

        “Won’t you walk through
         this moment with me,
         We are birds for sure
         and we will fly some day...
            - Joseph Langham, from his song “Birds For Sure”

Is this the Wild West 2.0?
Manchurian cowboys homeless on the shooting range,
Empire blowback for 1000 army bases worldwide?
If a 1000 volcanoes blow
more people would listen, but for now, listen
these are some of the big boys of the weapons industry:
Lockheed Martin, Boeing, BAE Systems, Raytheon,
Northrup Grumman, General Dynamics, Airbus,
United Technologies Corporation, Leonardo S.p.A.,
L3 Technologies [1]
yet keeping things sane,
flock of birds in unison out of nowhere . . .
natural high
spontaneous outpouring of unified energy
both form and function in action,
not someone trying to stand out in the crowd . . .
flock of birds in unison out of nowhere
with the Sacred Air . . .
Now, how do they know to dart and turn so quickly
all together?
