3rd Place, Certificate of Excellence for our collaboration poem, 

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Title – Orphans of War

Orphaned children of war,
Are hungry for peace that’ll crease
Away the trauma that resides, never sees
The light after wounds, amputations that are core

To surviving the war. As children
Whose childhood was decimated
By loss, parents, safety, laughter, loved,
Replaced by uncertainty, confusion, a burden

To those who survived with them, unable
To function in a world where war
Is the norm, peace is a broken contract far
From the ideals of humanity that are incomparable.

Debashrita Basu

Wars are nothing but a destruction of humanity
Loss of kindness, sympathy and love
Domination of a power over the world
Killings of many innocent women and children

Many physical scars are there
But psychological scars will never be decreased
It will destroy the innocence of children
Who are the victims of wars

Orphans of wars
Become victims of permanent fear and anxiety
Their sufferings are equal to God’s sufferings
Their pain means a lot.

Award of Appreciation for my poem, Rights of War

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Rights of War

Winners of wars determine the history
Propagated to newer generations
In a bid to sway sympathy
Away from the destructions

That took place, as though hiding
Them would erase the truths
Of desolation,  Rubble, exploding
Buildings and bodies whose loss of breaths

Determine the storyline of the victor
Rather than about justice, rights,
Humanity, compassion to war prisoner
Whose degradation was placed in highlights

Of social media to consume like
Breakfast, while they resume their
Lives as passive observers who place a pike
In the hearts of survivor.

Certificate of Achievement for my acrostic poem,  MELANCHOLY

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Acrostic
MELANCHOLY

Marvelous melancholy meandeers
Eternally in darkness, entering eagerly
Leading a life leery of lies letting your
Armor augment your auspicious audacity
Needing the support of friends, family,
Creating a buffer to melancholy’s
Hold on emotions that lend a hand to
Overcoming despair’s grip from
Loss’s leveling your blubbery heart,
Yielding to an overflow of emotions, needing a cap.

Certificate of Outstanding for my poem, World in Your Palm

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

World in Your Palm

As technology evolves, our mode
Of communication increase, and the code
For communication changes in a dire
Attempt to keep up with the choir

Of voices raised as they speak
Simultaneously, seeking a close peck
On the cheek, can be seen not felt,
Still, it reduces the Nostalgia you get

Missing loved ones, home,
Foods and culture that come
To your aid as your workplace
Requires ethics that are not of this place.

As days go by, news becomes
Scarce, worry alienates you from homes,
But, worry not, your phone, window
To the world, can show you

Any location instantly with a touch,
Especially when internet is a bunch
Of wireless connections that fail
In the face of exploding bombs that quail

And break the access to people,
Your cell is your weapon to gobble
Any news of home, under siege,
Your hopes revolve around posts on a page

That gives news, any news,
News that spews lies in cues
With political backing that refuse
To admit their subterfuge, that’s of no use,

As we can see, through our cell,
Dead fetus being extracted from the rubble,
Decapitation, amputations, and remains
In bags of flour, plastic bags, even backpack that rains

Blood on the already sodden ground.

Accolade for my poem,  Button Moulder

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

Button Moulder

Button molds are varied in colors,
Shapes, sizes, materials that alters
The appearance of our clothing
Making us better looking.

As the button moulder statue made
From shoulders, one arm folded, never faded,
Enormous binoculars for gazing
At life’s beauty through peering

From the button’s eye, never veiled
By social screens of a fast-paced
Life filled with the ultra superficial
That tends towards the unforgiveable

That’s filled with violence of blood,
Addiction that lives in your blood,
Actions that turn a child into an orphan,
Stomping on other’s rights to be open,

Open to immorality that needs
To destruction of family unity that breeds
Bonds of compassion, empathy, forgiveness
That our superficiality doesn’t harness

The power of discipline,  strength of will,
Faith and belief in yourself that’ll never fall
For if society embued us with that, then
Rebellion would ensue as a ban for politics with pen.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem, Vanity’s Curse

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

Vanity’s Curse

From the swirling darkened fog
A wisp of a gorgeous woman
Wrapped haphazardly in blood red smog
Alive in its flow as she moves, an

Astounding beauty, captivatingly attractive,
Sensual, and her sexuality bared for
All to consume closely and become enraptusured
By a fiery beauty hiding an insidious core,

Horrifically rotten with envy,
Hatred, corruption, aggression,
All coalesce within her stare, a visionary
Of destruction, disunity, strife that lend to perfection

Into her spiderweb of infractions
That destroy unity’s equality
And fairness that require absolutions
From a community that venerates all that’s holy.

Wherever there’s equanimity
She presents chaos and superfluous vanity.

Award of Participation for my poem: Tsunami

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

The Nonnet isn’t an easy structure to write in, but I enjoyed the challenge.

Tsunami

Tsunami’s faithless unbelievers
has drowned the world in deceit
Propagating division,
love money, artifice,
Lies that split kinship
In bid destruct
Faith not a
Place of
Fate

Certificate of Excellence for my poem: Rebuild Her Vision

Rebuild Her Vision

In her mind’s eye, she sees the new,
New city built on the ashes, rubble,
Rubble and destruction of war,
War that took away family,
Family whose lives were taken,
Taken violently in bombs,
Bombs whose yield was astounding,
Astounding even objective observers,
Observers of world’s humanity,
Humanity whose humane compassion,
Compassion never fails to rise,
Rise in younger generations,
Generations whose conscience,
Conscience in battling against oppression,
Oppression of the Indigenous,
Indigenous populations for material,
Material resources that rebuild,
Rebuild what was destroyed,
Destroyed cities become futuristic,
Futuristic, symmetric, organized,
Organized to represent power,
Power of Faith’s survival,
Survival among death’s door,
Door that opens into a brilliant,
Brilliant future, where equality,
Equality, wisdom, harmony,
Harmony of races, understanding,
Understanding that unity,
Unity is forged in steel,
Steel that has a feel,
Feel for needs of families,
Families whose support, love,
Love and ambition is a construct,
Construct of a world of utopian,
Utopian haven on earth’s astounding,
Astounding beauty that enraptures,
Enraptures our imagination into,
Into creating our heavenly vision.

Ocean’s Lament, my poem Published in ILA magazine

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

Ocean’s Cry

Oh you blue body of life,
Your azure, royal blue, turquoise, teal,
Color my life in blues, uplifting strife
From the midst of man’s fall. Real,

Real in his prolific dumping of garbage
In its depths, insouciant of consequences
On marine life, that’s slowly disappearing into a cage
Of fishing nets, plastic bags, oil spills, defaces

Defaces reefs, shores, schools of fish,
Extinguishing crustacean habitats,
Underwater algae beds where fish,
Multicolored of varying shapes and sizes,

Sizes that help propel the flourishing
Ecosystems beneath man’s watchful
Eye who’s still looking for expanding,
Conquering territories for boastful,

Boastful insecurities that need
To be bolstered by their flashy vanity,
Showing off their possessions, a creed
Of avarice, capitalism, and duplicity.

Duplicity in dealing justly, meticulously
Working in protecting assets’ vanishing
Existence, as man only knows how to fully
Siphon resources without a care of destroying,

Destroying access to them in a furor
Of greed that’s only surpassed by
Pride’s cataclysmic need to conquer
The unknown by debasing it as simple opposition that’s binary.

Accolade for my poem: Demon

Thank you, administrators, for the accolade and your hard work. Mostly, I’d like to thank you for the uplifting critique of my writing.

Demons, to me, are the ones within that need to be silenced as they they represent negativity.  Having the will to overcome its sussurations is harder than achieving any goal needing a particular skill or talent.

Have fun dissing these demons and throwing them into a locked chest, never able to surface again.
