I just read this poem and absolutely loved it! The power of rebelling against the darkness, whether death or depression, is irrelevant. The fact is that you must never lose hope and continue to fight to your last breath.

Never bound by labels and hatred
Never round the increasing bend
Never be a compelled bland
A copy of a model
They all do trend
Never blend
Like a led
Downed

Addiction
I’m an addict
And I know it!
I revere two of the three Cs:
Coffee, candy, and cigarettes.
I love my coffee alone with my contemplation
Of life, likes, posts, news, like a great commotion,
Flitting from one to the next trying to see
What’s best before I rest to be free.
Posts galore and replies of mine
Make my day, as the taste of Coffee
Feels like a sinful pleasure.
With my dark drink, I bite into chocolate,
And drift into a coma at heaven’s gate.
I savor the sweetness along the strength
Of body of the coffee and it’s bitterness.
Life with the morning rituals
Cake, candy, chocolate, coffee and sweets
Is like life without a hero like Ferrero,
Or Cadbury, Mars, KitKat, and Aero!
Raising the bar in a day filled
With noise, poised to litter the mind
With fear, worry, and being drear!
So my habitual start is set in stone:
Coffee, contemplation, quiet that have
A lead to social media, news, where I refuse
To succumb to its dadarkness
That needs to twist your morning addictions
Into a depressive, foggy darkness.
Let your coffee’s wisdom fill
Your empty cup with hope that will
Reject to solidify into despair,
But reaches in your depths to repair.

Patriarchy
So men have gotten the fame they desire!
An entire day to their name! Who will enjoy it?
Who will cherish it?
Who will value the importance of it?
Who will disregard it?
Who will relate to it?
Who will abuse the power it lelt?
I know not!
What I do know is that men have a bad rap
History has turned them into a patriarchy crap
That has defined a man’s role in society,
Trying vainly to bind them into labels that are sappy.
Men and women are different. Let’s celebrate that!
Enjoy the opportunity to meld minds together,
Enjoy being amorous, friends, sons, daughter,
Binary opposites who need one another.
Don’t let social needs rule your ethics and values,
Generally, women are greater nurtures,
While men have a greater ability to withstand
Handle, and shoulder problems that grind
The heart and mind into dust, if their strength
Weren’t obvious in its existence in each breath.
Listen to the the father, son, brother talking:
They discuss how to provide for their family’s being
Proud of their conduct as they also give of themselves
To their ‘women’, children, friends, and careers.
Never underestimate the support that both
Generate to help survive in a world where debauchery,
Sin, gaslighting, deriding, racial slurring, iniquity
Are all part of our social order, that we deem both
A Necessary evil and a required critique of the unacceptable.
For change and acceptance to occur,
Time, teaching, learning, understanding don’t slur
The values of humanity, rather, they enforce them
By being more charitable, helpful, and adaptive.
