Award of Appreciation for my poem: Woman Defined

Thank you,  administrators,  for the accolade and your hard work 👏

Woman Defined

Courage thy name is Woman!
You’ve shown us your resilience
In the face of adversity that can
Drive strong men to their knees in case
Their worries overwhelm their ferocity,
Which is tempered by Her steadfastness
And confidence in Her ability
To nurture, when needed, cutting honesty
That’s never ending in its compassion.

Her armor, mask is that of love.
Her empathy lifts Her up.
Her education is Her weapon, a dove,
White, for its peaceful cup.
She’s endured degradation, oppression,
Slavery and desperation beyond
Caution, She moves into dominion
With Her tolerance that’s Her bond.

Bond of her heart that instigates
The need for freedoms.

Certificate of Astounding,  poem: Violence

Violence

When aggression reigns
People’s solidarity feigns
Peace to give rise to new
Violence that undermines a few.

Women and children being
Weaker are in danger of prying
Away their self-worth with words’
Derogatory punches that blows …

Blows that rain down like
A thundstorm of screams that aren’t fake,
But rather, breaks ensue
That take eons to heal in a pew.

Escape is sometimes the only
Way to endure this period of powerfully
Oppressive and subjugated conditions
That requires succor from the perfections

Of a society whose aim is self-preservation,
And where victims of violence live in perdition.

PALESTINIAN WOMEN SUFFER


Acrostic

Patriots empower the pulverized
Assuming their ability to unify
Leads to greater support
Even when each woman, mother,
Sister, daughter, grandmother has
Truly experienced the power of loss.
In the 150 days of escalations
Neighborhoods have been decimated,
Ire has risen, family trees cut,
Ample theft of property and Palestinians,
Nearly overflowing skin banks with

Women, children, and men’s skins and
Organs are sold illegally, turning a profit,
Meaning Palestinians are being Israeled in
Every way possible. Women
Needing c-section and complicated

Surgeries without anesthesia
Under a cacophony of bombs, snipers
Fixating on murder of medical staff, never
Fearing paying the piper, as they’re
Empowered by arms and tech that
Reveals their cowardice and courage of women survivors.

Women around the world keep your eyes on these courageous women, as the difficulties they’re overcoming are unimaginable.
