An Eagles Encounter

EAGLES ENCOUNTER

Mi was doing my nite rounds..
then was a student at a local varsity
when i had an encounter with them eagles
they offer me peace...salaams..
but they were really trying
to appear nonthreatening

one of them asked mi a weird question
...how did you do it..
i perceived they were alluding
to the gift of sight..

dilly dallying around but they are..
all ears..i mention the fall..
suddenly there by my side scaring mi
or is it intimidating..

...what do you know of it...
only what you tell me..i replied
impatient eagles.. hard stances taken..
run to the USA even there floods
overtake thee..
and operative cleantone caps you..

The eagles aren't that bad
and they blend well with mortals..
This is Africa and immortals 
walkin around aiint no big deal
we roll our eyes.. turn a blind eye..

We aint like them Americans
who have an obsession for the..
weird.. weird stuff of life..
miracles so  rare in their land
they have to invent superheros

down here weird is the norm
and every one is given rite of passage
for this is tanateru.. this is gods acre..
and immortals have a rite of way
its the mortals who live down here..
you should watch out for...

the eagles land and leave
at times they snatch
the chicks from the hen..
and hubby rooster..
they don't bother us much
even kids don't fear them..

for they like to fly high..
and if i was an angel
wouldn't i protect them day and nite...
and if i were a bomb...  i would never
explode..for the eagles landed-
and none was too wise...



Lewis k Nyaga,
KIRINYAGA FREE STATE..
