4th place for my poem, ode to Josephine Gomez

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.  A tribute to a multitalented woman.

Josephine Gomez

A Tsunami like no other has swept
Civilization’s imprint on land in waves that crept
At impossible heights, pounding
Into cities, ravaging

All within its reach, a name,
Gomez, Josephine stands like a flame
For truth, honesty, equality never
Letting criticism stall her voice fly forever

Into the minds of those whose
Open minds let it seep in, smolder as trends.

Award of Appreciation for my poem, Education’s Bought

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Education’s Bought

An education can be bought or sold,
An educator, teacher opens wisdom of old
And new spontaneously, as bold

As can be, rebelling against ingrained
Stereotypes, racism, inequality that gained
Fame throughout colonialism and payed

The price of their Ideology in blood
Of the colonized, the victims who fold
Under the pressure and division mastered

Through teaching the ‘other’ their
Impotence vis a vis controlled power
Of technology, ‘Civilisation’, that cower

Behind parts of religion without
Delving into knowledge whose fought
To  soar in the brightest light, bought

With it wisdom, diversity, understanding
Of people who are cultural, socializing
Being who need one another to go flying.
