Blackbird Singing

Decades since
the song was 
written
Blackbird continues
to sing in the dead
of night

Your Captivity
was one of
the Motivations
that influenced
Freidrich Engels
and Karl Marx
to create
the Manifesto
For it was
Social Oppression
and dominance
from the bourgeoisie
that prevented and 
prevents
you to
freely fly

Though today
Society recognizes
the roots of your
Plight 
Both sides 
of the political spectrum
continue
to devise
ways
to suppress
you
An injustice that should
continue to be heard

BLACKBIRD
Your moment has come
it is your time
to take the broken
wings
and learn to fly
You are Beautiful
Powerful 
Your voice needs to be heard.....................
