Power of Myths

The Myths of yore continue to be the core
Core of tales galore, that have fantastical,
Fantastical, epic adventures and morals,
Morals that still apply in modern,
Modern society where technology,
Technology, AI are what galvanize,
Galvanize social and ethical conscience,
Conscience of a humanity that’s fallen,
Fallen into depravity, hedonism,
Hedonism of empowering the ego,
Ego that promotes no piety,
Piety for powers greater than yours.

Wishes

As the countdown to 2025 starts,
My mind takes a long look behind
And wonders what wishes, surprises
Are in store for 2025 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!

Reading my poems: Free Speech and Breathe Through The Blood, at the Petal Projections magazine event

What a great way to meet other writers, their perspectives, personalities, and sense of community.

Thank you, Rim Rizk, for pilots the magazine and getting us together. Your hard work is highly appreciated.

Free Speech

Black cap and gown covering her
Blue eyes and Golden spun hair,
While the Statue of Liberty
Dares to hold its hand, plainly

Trying to obstruct her from
Speaking her mind, daring to come
Forward with the truth to resound
In media’s intifada while bound …

Breathe Through The Blood

I’m drowning in blood,
Blood of families blown asunder,
Asunder. Limbs and heads loll,
Loll, broken, decapitated, bloody,
Bloody from arteries leaking,
Leaking from wounds, impossible,
Impossible to tend, as hospitals,
Hospitals have lost the ability to heal,
Heal thousands of extreme wounds, …

Triple Platinum Certificate, poem: Broken

No Comments on Triple Platinum Certificate, poem: Broken

Broken

She sits on the cold unforgiving ground,
Ground that has absorbed her bountiful tears,
Tears of a broken heart,
Heart that has seen too much loss,
Loss of family, spouse, innocence,
Innocence of the unaware of the world,
World gone mad from the needs,
Needs that are illogical, depraved,
Depraved in their unethical destructive,
Destructive nature of familial bonds,
Bonds that help communities grow,
Grow in compassion and humanity,
Humanity, that’s our commonality,
Commonality of blood and origin,
Origin in Adam, the first prophet, man,
Man who made a mistake and fixed,
Fixed it for his progeny to prosper,
Prosper In an empty, arid land,
Land where possibilities are endlessly,
Endlessly varied for doing
Doing good or evil.
Evil that makes her ruminate,
Ruminate on her actions that’ve gotten,
Gotten her into her lonesome state,
State of depression, if she’s not careful,
Careful to an optimist working to achieve
Achieve her dreams without failed faith,
Faith that has driven depression into
Into its watery death in the river of her tears.

Certificate of excellence, Drum Roll, Die

Drum Roll, Die

Life’s dreams of roses and colored glasses
Have been assassinated by explosions,
Devastation, destruction of homes and gardens,
Where flowers and innocence grew.
In their place, fog, smog, smoke spew
Chocking breaths and arrest hearts that drew
Their last drummer’s beat and fell in death’s pew.
When will their year of restitution
Come to being a realization?
When will they experience the exhiliration
Of being free without groveling?
When will their neighborhoods be overflowing,
Rehousing them, others, a community not governing?

Patience, faith, and unity will invariably
Win the fray always knowing the end is ‘liberty’
While social development soars accordingly.

Happy Thanksgiving

Acrostic

Thankful for all I have, and never

Hate others for having more.

Another year and my appreciation grows

Never stopping its exponential climb.

Kneeling before GOD, the only,

Serving one another the way

GOD commanded us to be brothers,

Including love of all, while

Vying for HIS benevolence as we

Inquire about the reasoning for events

Glorifying death, murder, and immorality.

Kind vs Unkind

Having seen this post, it reminded me of the plight of Palestinians who’ve been oppressed, subjugated, and mistreated for 7 decades, and how even under bombardment, there are men and women trying to help one another. It’s astounding how colonization has fostered a sense of community and kindness to others’ suffering, all of which has been posted on Instagram/ X, if the administrators didn’t have the chance to remove them yet.

The atrocities they have faced and will continue to face are unimaginable and incomprehensible, as it’s too violent to process.

Author: Perfectly Flawed poetry for change. Poetry that critiques colonialism, injustice, and fosters self-worth and growth.

Double Bronze & Certificate of Excellence: Her Gaze

Post author By Malakkc

No Comments on Double Bronze & Certificate of Excellence: Her Gaze

Her head, slightly tilted up, looking
Into his beautiful chocalaty eyes
Swarming with love, passion, striving
To impart his longing to listen to her piano’s

Rendition of an Austrian waltz,
Stiring his passions for her innocence,
Compassion, and adaptability that’s the cause
Of his unfailing support for her patience,

That’s infallible in her haloed
Reverence for their rhythm and harmony
In a life filled with shared experiences, favored
With laughter ringing with a clarity

That resonates within the heart,
Making its flutter call out their names
When you feel their need for your part
Of a hug, kiss, even a game played that aims

To not only fill them with cheer for their
Peers, but also teaches morals
And ethics that help stabilize greater
Community unity that propels

The certainty that although life,
Tech, health fluctuate, our strength
Of belief in one another’s humanity’s care
For its perseverance in the face of adversity, at length

Will never drop its compassion,
Survival when faced with injustice, confusion.
