Poetry for Change
Thank you for the honor and your hard work.
Writing is a medium for rebellion,
Change, new perspectives, compassion,
An emotional diary of self-expression.

My Love
If “Love opens the most impossible gates;” and
“Love is the gate to all the secrets of the universe.”
Then, love is all powerful, eternal, rebellious, never bland,
But compassionate promise In a universe
Filled with dissent, competition, a love of money,
And sin. I give thanks that my love, husband,
Is my rock, my motivator, and one key
To my writing that’s unwavering and always holds my hand.
My love is there for the difficult decisions,
Guidance and friend to our children,
Has sleepless nights when they’re in positions
Of upheaval that require strategic precision.
For me, he is my star in a dark night,
The shoulder I cry into when life’s unbearable
Losses enrobe my heart in darkness, as he helps me fight
The devouring abyss making it acceptable.
As my shadow sits on the bench, alone,
My eyes mist like dew drops covering
The wet grass, as memories flood, gone,
The world has taken this love and kept living.

Killing Hunger
Famine has lent a scrawny
Build to people’s agony
Of being constantly hungry
They search, vainly, for sustenance that cry:
Killing hunger is a crime
Of conscience for food is plentiful
If shared, not horded in a full
Contingent of warehouses where gruel
Is hidden from the poor, while for the fanciful
Killing hunger is a rhyme
For each individual to recall
For each crumb means a loss of a ball-
Room of people daily who have none but fall
Groveling for a pittance to call
Killing hunger is a crime
Of outstanding proportion
For man’s compassion
Has died with the materialization
Of the individual needs before population
Killing hunger is a rhyme
That never ends, a cycle of obsession
Survival of the Ego before orchestration
Of growth for all that leads to destruction
Of cries and perspiration
Killing hunger is a crime
With no reason or rhyme.

Love’s Poetry
As light is hope and all that’s bright,
Learning to love in the sun illuminates
Your perception on values, character, that fight
To blot out negativity that’s darkened puss
That festers as an abyssimal blight
To optimism whose courage roars in
Flight to piece together poems whose bite
Is only a loving caress, as their images pin
Your beauty from words to face, wrinkled
From endured hardships but glows
With the passionate compassion of being loved.
As you shower me with languid eye’s light, the fight throws
Away the scourge of love’s broken heart
By filling papers with poems that brook
No argument to its plight in trying to strut
The words in verses and lines that cook
Your presence into the essence of love
Unbroken by a pessimistic world that implodes
When amour is at its best fighting in brave
Behest of a soul needing rest in paper adobes.

This poem is dedicated to my mother and all mothers of great character.
Silent Angel
Mother, mother, angel forever,
Whether on earth or in heaven,
You lead us into prayer,
Teaching us discipline, as without
It we’re just marauders, aimless,
Painfully self-conscious of falling in a bout
In the boxing ring of life. Your selflessness
Taught us compassion, empathy
That strengthen our humanity in less
Aggravating circumstances that bless
Us with your sweet prayers, heard
By GOD to empower us through hardness
Of disillusionments, disappointments
That lay heavily on our soft hearts,
Yet, my angel, you raise me from depressants
To brilliant smile that glitters
Blinding the observer into thinking
Your worries are absent glimmers.

Resurrect Miracles
In a world where faith dissipates,
Like fog in the fall skies, creates
Mammals, mountains, shapes that face
The world, haughty in the knowledge that grace
Is innate and humanity is stamped
In your DNA, but while sins have manned
A heavy toll on your dwindling compassion
It requires the miracle of resurrection
In a bid to elevate humanity from
Its downward spiral into depravity that come
With a heavy price, souls flaming in hell.
It’s time for a resuscitation of what fell,
Sinful souls suffering, I give
You a second chance to live
A just, compassionate life full
Of prayer, communion with GOD, never full of bull.

MOTHER’S DAY
Mom, mother, Mami, marvelous mediator
Overly compassionate, loving, and
True to her calling: nurturer, teacher,
Healer, holds your comfort in her palm
Envy all who have a mother like her
Resonating in empowering her child
‘Supplicating GOD for guidance
Daily to be a better mom, hoping not to
Ascend into heaven before ascertaining
Your happiness at the expense Of her health.

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.
