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

As a lone yellowed leaf, I remain, Hanging precariously onto the branch, Looking onto the ground, where my vain Friends have all fallen while greenish, now, out of reach,
They lay on the fallow earth Blanketing it with their dried crunch, As passerby ignore their presence ignoring the cloth That beautified nature, as they stomp them in a bunch.
Lonely, alone, my tears fall unnoticed As I try to mourn all I’ve lost: Friends whose radiance has died, Family whose love has extinguished and thrust
Me, alone, in an unforgiving world, Where what once was is easily forgotten, While all those empty voices rise in a cold Empty entourage who’s lost compassion and been
Swamped with the material world, Living in solitary confinement, On a schedule that bind More then prison bars in an accoutrement
To integration in a society, powerless To make a change in their community As technology and self-isolation progress Towards being captivated by superficiality
Of surviving rather than living In faith, hope, their power and force, Naturally protect believers in believing In the existence of hope and communal peace.

I believe in destiny and fate, not superstitions that are illogical, like a Wishing well, or black cat walking under a ladder bringing bad luck, or number 13, you get the drift. So, no, I’m not destined to believe that superstitions are real, but rather, one has a destiny that’s preordained, but one has a choice of achieving it the righteous way, or not.

Couldn’t type! Besides with writing it out, I can edit when it’s complete! All those victims of abuse of Indigenous genres: raise your voices together! Only then will they make any change happen!
