Commonality – Poetry for Change

Certificate of Excellence and review of my poem, Peace of Mind

Thank you, administrators, for the honor and your hard work.

Peace of Mind

What do geography and belief
Have in common? You ask yourself.

Well in every area in the world
People’s faith manifests itself as an umbilical chord

That pulls you towards strengthening
Your innate belief wherever you’re living.

Nature that surrounds you there
Inspires your discipline in faith that you’re

Applying by using your tongue to appreciate
The GOD given gifts, by using senses to venerate

The creator’s ingenuity in the beauty
Of simple things in life that are sturdy

In creating a depth of faith that’s
Indestructible for it, your spirit permeates.

The geography of faith is internalized
For it exists within and without, hard

To dislodge their meeting in a space
Whether vast or confined in your mind’s peace.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem, Unity

Thank you administrators for the hard work you put in the prompts and judging our work. You’re highly appreciated 👏

Unity

How do we unite when we’re so different?
We might differ but beneath, we’ve got
The same biology, red blood, emotions whose lot

Is to find similarities to bridge
Stereotypes, opinions, religion, race, that judge
Without logic or understanding, rather pledge

Disunity, division, as diversity of aims
That ramify and highlight disparity that comes
More easily then finding commonality in times

When a unified community, humanity
Means peace, while division means war, ably
Turning a pretty penny as colizers’ ability

To exploit the subjugated through
Creating enmity where none could throw
Away their misplaced Stereotypes that bow

To the reign of weapons
Whose response is murder that dons
The crown of power flown in tons

Of decisive death combatted
Only by understanding of diversity united.
