Award of Appreciation: poem, Conformity

Conformity

Education is highly priced so that
Few can achieve its height.

The higher the knowledge you try
To receive the more indoctrinated, bound not to fly

While wisdom’s harmony demands your
Calm acceptance of self and all around who pour

Their spirituality into a fervor for variety
Of life’s changing setting, requiring piety,

Humanity, compassion, empathy, and embrace
The continually altered reality with its grace

In knowing that equilibrium is a must
As the world is based on its crust

That’s unshakable in its strength, as long
As respect is exchanged so we all belong.

Good leader

What makes a good leader?

A good leader needs to be selfless while making decisions for the benefit of others, his subordinates, or the people he’s responsible for. Leaders have the ability to take responsibility for the decisions they make, even baring the brunt of both negative and positive consequences of their actions. They are also compassionate but disciplined, give and take when necessary, and understand within limits of professionalism.

Unfortunately, today’s political leaders fall short of these qualities, as they think in terms of their own power: political and financial.

Happy New Year 🎉

Wishes

As the countdown to 2023 starts,
My mind takes a long look behind
And wonders what wishes, surprises
Are in store for 2024 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!

Certificate of excellence, To Dream a World

To Dream a World

As I sleep, my mind creates a world
Of imaginary beings living in harmony,
Where faeries, humans, unicorns, have a word
That’s heard and fuses into all that’s savory.

The faery is such a beauty, holding
Audiences with all and sundry. All, all
Coalesce in one community, cohabitating
One space peacefully and call out, call

The world out on its synchronicity’s need to
Bathe its species, human and other
In a light filled with a pleasing symphony too
Overpowering to be replaced with a hater

That reveals destruction of order of a solicitous
Nature that helps captivate your pretentious cover
Of needing love to be the universal currency instead of audacious
Violence that oppresses the value of being a lover.

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.

Love

Love, loved, lover, lovely

Over abundance of being emotionally

Viscerally compassionate that strongly

Evolves as your love grows exponentially.

Be kind to yourself

Motivate your own growth with stealth,

Don’t let vanity be your wealth

But rather empathy becomes your breath.

Open Heart

What is a heart?

Is just the physics of pumping blood?

Is it a chemical reaction that spurs your heart?

Or is it the emotions that empower you in a flood?

The heart full of compassion, love, passion,

And empathy, heralds horror for those who honor

Their loved ones, friends, and co-worker.

They fear their tender heart will be crushed by disillusion.

What do you inundate your heart with to keep it safe?

Do you pour cement in it to harden and protect

Your deliriously delicate heart from hurt?

Do you swamp it with frozen clumps of ice?

Or do you keep it open for more disappointment?

Fear of being wounded by others can be paralyzing,

For out of dread, you might drive those closest

To you away by building fortified walls around your heart.

Yes, hope and trust in others CAN be painful,

But do you retreat and hide?

Or do you expose your compassionate heart

To ensnare others in your warmth?

The decision is yours, of course,

But don’t miss out on life’s pleasure Just because a few experiences were sour!
