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 Check out our library of e-books @ amazon.com in the kindle store, or visit:www.booktango.com authors website:apluszips.com Thanks

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
