Blackbird (Adaptation)

by Maria Dafnomili                                                                  March 03, 2021

Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

All your life

You were only waiting for this moment to arise

 

Take a risk or lose a chance,

you won't learn to fly all at once.

Even if you fall, don't be discouraged,

learning to live and to fly takes courage.

 

Blackbird fly, fly away

from worlds that hopefully

won't exist someday.

 

Follow your own unique path,

overcome the obstacles, the branches,

that are keeping you away from doing that.

 

Blackbird singing

in the death of night

Take these broken wings

and learn to fly

All your life

You had been taught how not to act

It’s now time to change that.

Stop waiting for the moment to arise,

the world is undiscovered,

Open your eyes!

Voices of Protest

by Maria Karagianni                                                                        February 26, 2021

You say that I am in need of hand of help

insisting that I am not seeking the best

but it seems like you, the one holding your horses at our againsts,

never act, pretending you are someone else.

 

You feel without your heart

but can you see without your eyes?

Do u still think your hearing?

Don't u listen? There’s still banging left and right. 

 

If ur still the one in charge,

we all apply for your cut out,

not a single thing is right,

so please respect our constant trying

 

Copying, copying and copying, 

not improving, should I be impressed? Are we approving, your words full of rubbish?

U better should be joking, cause that's so serious for how

people be dying and how ur carelessly proud.

 

You keep insisting everything is under control,

but you keep looking for which buttons to press on your remote. 

Do I seem like a toy to be put up on your wall

effortlessly hanging from the cracks holding the box?

 

If you are still the one in charge,

we all apply for your cut out,

not a single thing is right, 

so please respect our trying.

 

Cause, we are not to be taken for granted.

Tic tac toe I bet u know, 

but all I can say is, u ain't playing chess no more.
