HAPPY MOTHER EARTH DAY


Acrostic

H eavenly healing properties live
A vidly throughout your
P roperty,  propagating instantly,
P aving the way for health that’s declining
Y early.  The land we’re here to protect

M oves into its shrinking measure,
O penly resisting the occupier, Man, heedless of
T he destructive power
H e possesses over the beauty’s
E ternal flame of rejuvenation
R arely given the time to heal

E ven when it’s imperative for farmers’
A rid harvests that feed none,
R everently spewing it’s need for
T he people to care for the land’s
H aloed ground that quenches hunger,

D riving Man into thirst for fire,
A ir, water, seeds’ harvest in a nest that’s
Y et to be bound in his ability not to survive alone.

Confrontations

What makes you nervous?

Confrontations that may hurt other people’s feelings, especially family members,  are my worst nightmare.  In all honesty,  I usually bottle up my problems so that when I do finally confront the person, my reaction is usually stronger, more aggressive than it should be. That alone creates more problems.  I’m working on being more upfront with my feelings,  but it’s difficult to change 5 decades of behavior in a short time.

Certificate of Excellence, Quick… Loss

Quick … Loss

Exert

Loss and death are as quick as breath.
Run and hide trying to evade its breadth.
I look upon its specter as I hold my breath.

Loss and death are as old as millenia.
Run and hide, as time is never vanilla,
But a manila cover in which to hide sista.

Loss and death are as varied as a bow.
Run and hide, and never stay in a row,
That keeps you stuck in a silent blow. …

Certificate of excellence, Overflowing Chalice

Overflowing Chalice

Choices, choices, how many do you make everyday?
Good choices, poor choices, which are the best in a fray?

Career choices at a young age,
Friendships good and bad, relegate all that’s a rage,

Pressure, peers, social, cultural, all turn an empty page
In a life that’s overwhelmed with questions of existence.

Run, run, run along,
Round, round you go all the way, longing, long,

Wishing there exists a preset solution
That facilitates life’s process for a decision.

The summation of all experiences create
A diverse stream in the chalice if inequity’s rate.

Depending on your perception and that of your kin,
The chalice overflows with a negatively skewed bin

That lowers your morale when all you need
Is for the chalice of injustice to be empty indeed.

Wishes, Certificate of Excellence

Wishes

As the countdown to 2023 starts,
My mind takes a long look behind
And wonders what wishes, surprises
Are in store for 2024 that won’t stand
Down to the tests of time.

I wish for a world of peace
I wish for a world without violence,
I wish for justice to prevail,
I wish for family strength and unity,
I wish for a world that’s compassionate and humane,
I wish for honesty to triumph over lies,
I wish that this society’s rules made sense,
I wish, I wish, I wish…

Wishing for something and achieving
Your goal are separate indeed, as
Working hard drives you to attaining
Your objective, while just wishing for it to lands
In your lap will never happen!

Certificate of excellence, Flighty Hearts

Flighty Hearts

Love our paper hearts
Easy to tear,
but cuts
Like a bear.

Its unique shape
Lends to despair,
When it broke
By your hand and air.

Its unique shape
Rises into fullness,
Then dips in face
Of falsehoods that pierce…

Look into its shape
That seems divided
Into yay and nay, a cape
Of vascillation that cried,

Its tear wails
Till eye sight goes blind
With too many choices
And decisions that bind.

Oh ye who have
A paper heart,
Let its love
Blind you and never cut.
