Allen Hackett Poet Verse

Saint John Coltrane

SAINT JOHN COLTRANE

Old Trane New Trane Coltrane
Stood on the edge of the avant-guard 
Sanctified sax in hand blowing like thunder and rain
He acknowledged The Creator with Psalms in A love Supreme
A love Supreme... A love Supreme...A love Supreme
His horn screamed with pain
Alabama Oh...Alabama where our children died
Ka-boom!!
Expressions of rebellion as The Black Movement marched on through
Along came Joy and Peace yet he moaned and groaned
He ascended to a higher plane
As he sings praises in heaven his legacy abounds on earth and the spirit is still alive 
SAINT JOHN COLTRANE

Debbie Guzzi December 26, 2013 at 4:00 PM I enjoyed your verse this evening. My favorite quote comes from Eldritch Clever ;)" If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem." Happy Boxing Day! Light & Love
