about

My love for birds and the poet inside me observing people in metaphors

lyrics

Bird Watching
These days I’m waking up with the birds
Rushing off to work
Similar to stealthy sparrows
Early ones catch the worms
Whistling to the sun

Hello

Slow folks finish last like vultures
They become scavengers
Like Poachers who scope for
Rare species of feathers
Those dressed in nice cloths of leather

Show-off

Critics like parrots
Who mimic the skeptics
Nobody’s saying anything new (its pathetic)
Being original is too hard
Set up the Scarecrows in the schoolyard

Pressure

Jailbirds sing songs and church hymns
Behind prison cells and bars
Please leave the half stepping
To the flamingoes
As artificial wisdom swell the stars

Sirius

Plastic Owls on the rooftops
False prophets steal our goods
Robin Hoods
Politicians dressed as eagles
Fly above us all complaining about freedom

Extinction







BIRD WATCHING
WHY SO BLIND???

WORDS AND THOUGHTS FROM
MY MIND

I see you there – nodding your head
Hands in the air – lets flllllllllly tonight






Baby boys who never leave the nest
Yet to spread wings – afraid to fall
Black Man only taught to carry a ball
And watch out for flying pigs
They see us as Pokémon – trying to catch us all

Collection

The Fowler on the hunt for Love
Dazzling
Come Hibernate with me and the trees
Beauty
I’m twitterpated with every chick I see

Lost

Homeless living off crums like pigeons
Travel in flocks circling blocks
Only the sun keeps them driven
Surfers prefer the company of seagull’s more than real people
Riding the waves, unafraid, unashamed, untouchable

Refuge

My generation hides their heads
In the sand like ostriches
Jive turkeys don’t know what time it is
Be more thankful and look up

War

Rock stars with Mohawks
Shout songs to our young ones
Like roosters trying to make our culture
Wake up

Evolution

Future falcon - we men play hunt
Showing off feathers like steroid peacocks
Come smell the black rose I see robots on pterodactyls
Prehistoric P funk this character got flows
Watching rich folks resembling penguins who somersault into black holes

Hip-Hop

Carry the load like a pelican skull
These jaws can store oceans of sins
Who us?
Christians never drop that ugly stuff
We stay fresh and clean like white doves

Confident

Contradicting ourselves fighting everyone else
Loosen’ sight of love
The black bird Ravens are like the black thugs
Who prefer picking locks
Or picking out the heart of the dead corpses lungs
Who float in the water around Noah’s Ark
Which one of us will bring back a twig for the Lord?

Rainbows

A sign of hope when things fall apart
Because angels come and go
Like humming birds
My thoughts get lost in funny words
The flooding of the earth burning hot
All you sitting ducks just sit and watch
As Jesus Christ sparks my soul – look out below
Here comes the

Phoenix




BIRD WATCHING
WHY SO BLIND???

WORDS AND THOUGHTS FROM
MY MIND

I see you there – nodding your head
Hands in the air – lets flllllllllly tonight


NeverMindWhatPeopleSay
GottaFindYourSeedOfFaith
MountainsClimbThemselvesAway
AllTheStrifeYouWillEscape

Just spread your wings
And shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhine your light

Spread your wings
And show your heart
Spread your wings
And show your soul

Flap your wings
Inflame your art
Flap your wings
Until you reach the lord

The sky is the limit
No time to be timid
Just try to revisit
The heavens that spitted
Us out because of sin
And are feathers fallen off
Rotten
A spirit in a cage
Departed but not forgotten

You see the last adam
Set us free
And ever since then
I’ve been BIRD WATCHING
