A Poem I Read & Want To Share With Everyone Else - The Eureka Bird by isonlagba: 9:41pm On Aug 21, 2010
Hello, My Name Is Tixie
Tixie, The Humming Bird
I’m A Bird Of The Skies
I Fly High, High And High
Up And Up Above The Mountains
Where No Man Or Wits Can Ever Reach Me

O - La – La, I’m So Free As The Air
But When I Swoop Down In One Fall
To Pick A Caterpillar For A Meal
GBAAM! – Goes The Cage Door On Me
Someone Help Me!; I’m Not So Free After All

Hello, My Name Is Kiri Kita
Tixie, Andre, Freedom And Other Friends Call Me Kiki
I’m A Robin, A Bird Of The Skies
I Fly High, High And High
Up And Up Above The Mountains
Where No Man Or Wits Can Ever Reach Me

O - La – La, I’m So Free As The Air
But When I Swoop Down In One Fall
To Pick A Mango For A Meal
KAPUT! – Goes The Stone From The Catapult
And I Fall To The Ground; As Free As A Bird Indeed!

Hello, My Name Is Andre
I’m An Eagle, A Bird Of The Skies
Since Men Have Learnt To Shoot Without Missing
I Have Also Learn To Fly Without Perching
Up, Up And Up Into The Sky I Fly
Where No Man Or Wits Can Ever Reach Me

O - La – La, I’m So Free As The Air
But When I Swoop Down In One Fall
On A Chicken For A Meal
BOOM! – Goes The Farmer’s Double Barrel
Like Tixie And Kiki, I End Up In The Farmer’s Cooking Pot
As Free As A Bird Indeed


Hello, My Name Is Freedom
But All My Preys Like To Call Me EUREKA
Unlike Tixie, Kiki And Andre, I’m A Bird Of Wealth, Ideas
Invincible And Invisible, Yet Visible To Only My Preys
I Fly Everywhere, Every time, High And Low

But When I Swoop Down To Prey On The Human Mind
I Cause The Little Obscure Man Of Yesterday
To Become The Great Scientist, Thinker, Philosopher, Musician And Leader
Who Makes The World A Better Place Than They Met It

I Have Consumed Many A Mind For A Meal
Causing Them To Shout ‘’Eureka – I’ve Found It!’’
-Archimedes, Alexander Graham Bell, Alfred Nobel
Volta, The Wright Brothers, Jean And Marie-Currie, Isaac Newton
Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, George Orwell, Leonardo Da-Vinci, Adams Smith
Sigmund Freud, Wolfgang Mozart, Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill
-The List Is Endless And Timeless

Hey, Don’t You Forget My Name!
I’m Eureka, The Only Free Bird Of Ideas
I’m Freer Than Air Or Any Other Bird
I’m Lived Through Time And Age
Open Your Mind To Let Me Prey On You
And You Will Never Ever Be The Same Again

Ideas Are The Freest Gift Of Nature
It Cannot Be Killed Or Caged
Wealth Is Therefore Free And Flies Everywhere In The Air
From Person To Person: One Mind To The Other
You Only Have To Think And Grow Rich

I’m Eureka The Bird
Unlike Mortal Birds Like Tixie, Kiki And Andre
I’m A Bird Of Ideas, Wealth And Fame
Like The Genie From The Land Beyond, Beyond
Call On Me In Your Dreams
And I Will Make You Wealthy When You Wake Up
E-U-R-E-K-A!!! Yes, That’s My Name
