Poem – Black Doves

A mass of black doves darkened the sky.
They lingered behind the storm clouds that did fly.

They were there to give the omen … of what is to come.
Big change was coming to the beat of a war drum.

The white doves of peace were nowhere to be found.
And the black doves flew in, without any sound.

Inside the bodies of the doves were ancestors who had passed away.
They came to warn us and to see if their appearance will have any sway.

In the black dove’s beaks were sticks burned by a fire.
Around their necks were strands of barbed wire.

They made no coos and flew in their silent parade.
Displaying the horror from being so betrayed.

We live in a world where the Black Doves hold sway.
Secrets that kept us safe are being given away.

There are Black Doves that now control our world.
They have no loyalty and want our nation to unfurl.

Black Doves are those that will sell our nations soul.
To the highest bidder and to any asshole.

And as I watch those Black Doves land on our sacred soil.
I knew all they would touch they would despoil.

Take heed of the omens that they bring and are yet to come.
And get very ready for many dangerous upsets and outcomes.

If you are awake … you are already prepared.
If you are not the Black Doves should make you very scared.
