Like a twinkling star
Shooting any where
Oh/ Eagle strong creature
You are a long distance viewer
You are farsighted
All the way strongly armed
From any group of birds
You are something different
Carrying your Owen slaw gun
Uplifted ….fly..fly..fly
Up…up to the sky
When you are tired,
Re-tired,
Old aged,
You hide yourself to the bush
Till you renew your bone and flesh
Removing old feather
Old beak
Beating to the rock
Staying there for a while
Guided by your Owen principle
You plan for the second phase
When first phase is ended
Renewing, revived
As a role model for the rest
You are strong enough
A two way straight
Freed from burden of the past
Singing a song for a change
Defeating the challenge
Teach us how to break rocks
The ups and the downs
Which block our ways?
Which blocks our dreams?
conquering ……fears
Acquiring sharp sight
Bright …future
Bright…..thought.
