Athena, Warrior

Her resplendent beauty gleams
In the raven sky, her star shines
Brighter with her golden armor, protective
Of her vulnerabilities, as she needs to survive.
Its glow is there to strive
To outlast the unbeliever who stirs the hive.

Her might glistens and reverberates
Throughout her vicinity, vindictive as it propels
Instability, division, dissention, and war!
Booming war cries echo their strengths, none bar
Her entry, as she subjugates those weaker
Through fear and magic of her glittery armor.

Those whose insolence is hidden behind their
Camouflage of piety, are two, three faced, where
They keep their dissonance locked,
So their perfidy is unexpected,
And the humbleness nothing but beguiled
Discourse that pleases the open hearted.

Beware of those wearing lambskin,
But are in reality cutthroats whose noggin
Is an empty shell that requires
It to be filled by others to act out wars.

Award of Excellence for my poem, Jeweled Darkness

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Jeweled Darkness

Good and evil struggle to outshine
One another, while evil seems
To be winning as it destroys families,
Creates dissertation, addictions that fine

The unity of community for egotism
Reigns superior in darkness
While light’s haven needs fullness
Of discipline imposes on catechism

To succeed at goals that engender
Hope, laughter, lightness of soul
For those with compassionate tool
Of love with oppress evil’s darker,

Fear that’s entrenched in subconscious
Culture that reminds one of their lower
Status in order to stay as the controller
While the victim falls if not for the courageous.

Certificate of Achievement for my  poem, Give and Steal

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Give and Steal

With one hand, they give out arms
To propagate war, a war that divides
Brothers, using the old, well proven
Adage of ‘Divide and Conquer’, unbidden

The conqueror strives to reduce
The power of the people through the curse
Of avarice and the need to wield
Dominion  over others in an open field

Where, when the warring parties
Are busy murdering each other, their advocators
Pillage Africa, South Asia and America, all resources
Are tied up under their rule, while others dies:

Their wealth increases exponentially,
Their lies and division become award worthy,
For they manipulate facts to their advantage, cruelty
Being their aim for it’s their weapon that’s entirely

Too effective in keeping people in line
When they wish only for freedom, not grime,
Using resources to empower the country
Not the conqueror, manipulator,  who’ll destroy

Without conscience, compassion,
Humanity,  for the longer they play the game
The greater the death toll, division
That increases the gap that need a bridge and time

To overcome the differences instilled
By an aggressor whose purpose is power.

Review and accolade for my poem, My Love

Every time I receive a review,  I feel like a lottery winner. It’s empowering and highly  inspiring.  Thank you, guys, for your comments.

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.

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
