generations – Poetry for Change

Award of Appreciation for my poem, Creating Meaning

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Creating Meaning

The rhetoric, philosophy about the meaning of life
Has been in existence since the beginning of time,
Yet, for each generation, a new theory creates strife
In the souls of those in their prime

Needing an answer to consolidate
An identity they’ve forgotten existed
For following the trends gives a state
Of uncertainty for none are God send,

Rather, they derive pleasure in creating
Confusion and lack on comprehension
That creating your own meaning
To life is a necessary gift of compassion

For only when you’ve created it
Will you fight for it, never giving
Up on its dreams, an opportunity that bit
Out the uncertainty, giving rise to humanity’s creating.

Award of Appreciation for my poem: Woman Defined

Thank you, administrators, for the accolade and your hard work 👏

Woman Defined

Courage thy name is Woman!
You’ve shown us your resilience
In the face of adversity that can
Drive strong men to their knees in case
Their worries overwhelm their ferocity,
Which is tempered by Her steadfastness
And confidence in Her ability
To nurture, when needed, cutting honesty
That’s never ending in its compassion.

Her armor, mask is that of love.
Her empathy lifts Her up.
Her education is Her weapon, a dove,
White, for its peaceful cup.
She’s endured degradation, oppression,
Slavery and desperation beyond
Caution, She moves into dominion
With Her tolerance that’s Her bond.

Bond of her heart that instigates
The need for freedoms.
