Poetry is Power: The determination of a bird

 

 

Flapping,

Fluttering,

Flying through the air,

The warm breeze flowing through my feathers,

The sweet smell of nectar fills the air.

I swoop down to the flowers,

I see buds on the trees,

I want to stay but I must keep flying,

Twirling in the air,

Diving down to the stream to catch my lunch.

I fly over hills,

The grass getting greener as I go,

I am determined, 

I must fly on,

I will reach my goal, 

Nothing can stop me.

Finally I’ve flown to where the birds sing their beautiful
               songs of happiness.

The word “fascism” gets thrown around a lot these days. In fact, it’s so overused that if you’re in the political sphere and haven’t been labeled a fascist, you’re probably doing something wrong.  The term “fascism” comes from the Italian word “fascio,” meaning “a bundle” or “group,” which in turn comes from the Latin “fasces,”…
