destructive – Poetry for Change

Bronze Certificate of Achievement, poem: Nature’s Rejuvenation

I’d like to thank the administrators for the honor they’ve bestowed on my poetry.

Nature’s Rejuvenation

The wonder of the sea as it cleanses
Itself with waves frothed in peaks
Of brilliant white, flagging the onlookers

To note its brilliance as it hits the shore
With great abundance of fish, sea urchins’ core,
Crustaceans who never bore,

All vie to survive in an ecosystem
Whose balance is fragile but come
Forward to purify an environment is lame

As it’s bombarded in garbage,
Toxins that destroy the balance, in an age
Where every resource and commodity rage

For its preservation for survival
Of humanity is vital,
But, Man’s corporal life hung in destruction of the mystical.

Unfold

Life has many folds, twists, turns, and abysses,

We try to unfold and straighten the creases,

But it’s a delicate job, even hazardous, as The folds are hidden and need to become clear,

Straight, and easily seen, analyzed, and far

From misunderstandings and misgivings.

Is it a thing to need unfolding?

The simple answer is: ‘Yes, it absolutely needs doing!’

In this world, where there so many possibilities

For problems to unfurl, it is imperative to realize

That clarity in speech and actions aren’t always

Perceived as they are, but rather given a political,

Even social agitprops that have tendencies

To insite people into violent and intolerant behavioral

Activities, that help increase gaslighting’s imposing

Ideologies. They incur great wrath, aggressing

Against others’ rights, stripping them of dignity,

Pride, selfworth, even their humanity.

As humans, we need to untangle our ingrained

Stereotypes by humanizing each other, and accept

The difference the same way we accept

That siblings differ, though they come from

The same set of parents, gene pool, and environment.
