Owl... a symbol of intelligence

Poem Body

Why is an OWL
a symbol of intelligence

because when the world sleeps
it keeps vigil....
no security is needed for it
and
when you are all awake
you know the guy is asleep
why trouble a sleeping dragon
let it sleep

and

so the intelligence emanates
from a night's dream
ask any poet or scientist

how did one solve the question
like the Benzene one
in a sweet summer's night's dream
the creator came clean

a serpent eating its own tail
that's what now most do anyway
the world is becoming
more intelligent by night than day
as scientists fly far
into space
all night all day
far away from humanity
to safely stay…

sacrifices to make holy
cleanse
iitiate
like bohemians
we are groves of fresh ideals
awakening to the sun
hungry for its truths
the great wisdom

an owl, the vigil keeps
while me, where am i!
in his world
turned like heat whet, my dreams
pacify me , o agitprop passage
possesing night's holy tranquil
