Certificate of Appreciation for my poem,

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Wishing for Death

As you age, wisdom flits in moments,
Unexpected as they happen quietly,
Without fanfare, they turn disappointments,
Successes into an arduous world where honesty

Equality, and values of empathy
Have flown the coop and landed on depravity,
Turning goodness to a selfish policy
That rots humanity from within, And honestly

Watching the evaporating humanity
Within drives a sword into our hope for the future
Of society that’s sold its soul carelessly
To the highest bidder for avarice is a prayer

That never lets up, while the joy
Of Community’s standing together
Has rusted shut the chains of hope in a ploy
To resuscitate ethics’ splendor.

This disillusionment makes me wish
For death earlier so as not To watch
Decadence become their sole purpose, a brush
And it’s a contagion that sucks the soul into a hatch.

Accolade for my poem, Dear Thanksgiving

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Dear Thanksgiving,
Your presence among us is heartening,
It elevates our appreciation for the thing
We have or don’t have, we are harvesting

The sows of our deeds, those
We’ve planted throughout the years, in rows
Watching, waiting their blossoming woes
Interceding, only when needed like crows

We broadcast our successes, never
Our failures, though we learn never to cower
From the latter, as they build character.
Be kindly appreciative, live in acceptance better.

Our obsession of sharing has become a groveler

For attention when the creator
Has provided senses, nature, power
Of knowledge,  might, imagination that languish
If not bolstered by appreciation for the giver.

Keep us honest and return daily
Reminding us that deity
Is a necessity for hope’s flighty
Flight Into overcoming gravity.

Reviews for my poem, Woman Defined

My humble thanks for the wonderful support for my writing.

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.

Award of Appreciation for my poem,

Thank you, Krishna Walikar,  for the honor and your hard work.

Problems’ Peace

Problems, Problems galore gyrating
To a beat only they perceive, thumping
Blood into vessels that can’t cope with ease
As anxiety and worry are a great tease.

Running is a breeze as playing
The ostrich is quite frankly abetting
The delay of facing what you fear,
The problem that has you sleepless, but you revere

Your lack of confrontation that hurts,
You think it would be too harsh and hurts
Others, in reality, the pain is transient
When the logical mind realizes its penchant

For hiding from problems only
Delays the enviable explosion that rarely
Comes without detrimental effects
That affect the resolution of the pests,

That carry within them the ability
To destroy from within peace’s fragility.

Gold Award for my acrostic poem, CANDID

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

CANDID

Carefully planning your words
Anticipating reactions to your honesty
Needing it returned, knowing most
Dearly love being derogatory but never
Intentionally tell the truth as it would
Devastate their probable promotions.

Certificate of Excellence,  Integrity’s Honesty

INTEGRITY’S HONESTY

Acrostic

Invade your soul with integrity,
Never letting go of honesty,
That’s powered by discipline,
Eternally
Growing your stance, heavenly
Righteously to eliminate
Inferiority, inequality, but supports
The integration of all humanity’s races, Genders, not
Yellowbellies who deceive,
Stab friends in their backs, as they climb

Higher in their careers,  never being
Openly covetous of others, but rather leave a
Niggling discomfiture in their vicinity that’s
Eternal in its prickly presence.
Stand for your ethics
That make you uniquely
You, as it empowers your vitality.

Happy New Year đŸŽ‰

Wishes

As the countdown to 2023 starts,
My mind takes a long look behind
And wonders what wishes, surprises
Are in store for 2024 that won’t stand
Down to the tests of time.

I wish for a world of peace
I wish for a world without violence,
I wish for justice to prevail,
I wish for family strength and unity,
I wish for a world that’s compassionate and humane,
I wish for honesty to triumph over lies,
I wish that this society’s rules made sense,
I wish, I wish, I wish…

Wishing for something and achieving
Your goal are separate indeed, as
Working hard drives you to attaining
Your objective, while just wishing for it to lands
In your lap will never happen!

Places, people, and events

What makes you feel nostalgic?

As the new year approaches, you look back and realize that you’ve grown as an individual, while others are stuck in a rut. As I remember my past obstacles and breakthroughs, I recall my childhood holidays filled with aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, and friends gathering under 1 roof. The noise, laughs, cries of fear for a too mischievous child were part of the atmosphere of unity.

Today, only a few hours remain for a brand new year to start, a blank slate, maybe?

Never.

Life is cumulative, and there’s always context for actions and reactions. I wish for simplicity in life to return, where actions don’t need to have double or triple meanings, but where honesty, love, peace, and equality are the only values that are enacted by all.
