Hey Athenians, you shouldn't monopolise wisdom. <br /> <br />We too have an owl, alert, that functions a third eye. <br />It mixes seven colours and so she composes White, <br />it watches the windmills in Paralimni turning around <br />endlessly and thus it can read their tragic secret, <br />that our water is drained and the wells are emptied. <br /> <br />Our owl stares at the kite and explains that: <br />the hovering head of a kite is the Idea of Platon, <br />the string down to earth is the Logic of Aristotle, <br />the purple tail is the Nature and Word of Zenon, <br />being a balance between analysis and synthesis. <br />Here is our kite: it takes off, yet is grounded. <br /> <br />Our owl has an Oracle in the plain of Mesaoria, <br />counsels animals and birds to do the right. See <br />the coward wild boar dares, that’s why it swims, <br />the dog, when caressed by boss, envies not the cat, <br />the cow, nurses the little wolf to soften and tame it, <br />the donkey, works in the mill to have hay for sure. <br />The deer is proud of its crooked legs that help her <br />to run away of danger; not proud of her pretty horns <br />that entangle her in the bushes in front of the lion. <br /> <br />Your owl, Athena, has not such a third eye <br />to view day and night, from Kitium to Delphi. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />© JosephJosephides<br /><br />Joseph S.
