Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Almost every line enjambed, lovely consistent rhyme scheme, profound themes, excellent, Malak! This powerful poem speaks so authentically of the historical struggles you reference. How long must the fight against tyranny go on? I love the ironic contrast of the last line, the cycles of shifting power never change. Perhaps we should just tend our gardens. Superb poem!! By, Linda Powers O’Dell
Thank you for the honor and your hard work.
Fiery Wall
The wall finally fell in a fiery
Spell when the sorcerer’s blurry
Vision couldn’t allow for it to stand,
Dividing people through the hand
Of varying shades, races whose
Humanity never fades or cease
The opportunities to rebel
Against the status quo, like the bell
That hides reality in its stout shape,
Ringing loudly to oppress, gape
At dissidents who wish to be seen,
Accepted, not belittled, hated, a screen
Placed to limit their perception
To force the acceptance of perdition
While the authorities using an iron fist,
Stronger than iron, lighter than carbon, a beast
That needs to feel their power
Propagating, never stagnant, rather
Reigning in tyranny, calculating
Loss as as number, inhuman, weakling,
Unknowing that as they cast
Their spell for power, another will fast
Approach, create a coup, found freedom
In an area filled with boredom.
