Certificate of Excellence for my poem,

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

HELL O WEAN

The past year has been worse than any
Halloween as it was actually HELL O WEAN …
The Hell of being weaned on what’s seen
On social media’s snippets of genocide, carry

With it atrocities of dismemberment,
Beheaded children, fetuses gutted, children
Bullseyed by snipers, flour lines broken
By bullets whizzing past victims of bombardment.

So hello, HELL O WEAN, we see
Your inhumanity,
Your unlawful abiding personality,
Your insouciant attitude to killing. Be

The Hell in our Haloed Halloween for you’ve
Shown us that: unity is strength,
Gen Z still has a conscience whose breath
Of freshness is awakening those who’ve

Followed blindly behind HELL’s demand
For subservience to its god given
Right to rule the world with a broken
Set of laws that are man-made but bind,

Bind those whose ambition
For power is greater than their compassion.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem, Warriors in Sheep Skin

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Warriors in Sheep Skin

Warriors dressed in sheeps’ clothing
Fight, as warriors are wont to fight,
Let your voices rise, Soar like a kite,
Cross oceans of fright, conquering

Hearts with words of peace,
Empathy, compassion for humanity
That has fallen astray, accepting fraticide
As a way of life, unquestioningly

Some follow like the sheep they are,
While others use every medium,
From comedy, literature, criticism,
Painting, sculpting, all in their way fare

And pair their visions of peace
Fighting, unnoticed by many,
But those affected by their kindly
Actions have only gratitude that’ll fleece

Despair into an abyss where peace
Reigns in warrior stance in pride
That freedom fighters are framed in place
By the courts of the people who don’t hide.

Award of Excellence for my acrostic poem,  IDIOSYNCRASY

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

IDIOSYNCRACY

I diotic habits reveal your character
D ive into your idiosyncrasies, unique
I n their ability to convey your thoughts
O ver ideologies, news, politics,
S ystems of economy, integration,
Y ule tidings of compassion, empathy,
N ever ending supply of understanding
C aring for others is our new idiosyncrasy
R evealing our humanity is still
A live and kicking, simple
C are of knowing yourself as human, imperfect
Y et still childish enough to laugh at yourself.

Certificate Award for my poem, Heart’s Dialogue

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Heart’s Dialogue

Oh heart!
If you could speak
What would you say? A beat,
Two, three, a squeak,

A tweet, a butterfly’s wing
Swings in soaring flight
Letting the beats sing
Their song of freedom, bright

Diurnal light shimmers
In flight a beat of harmony
Starting within, speakers
Belt out optimism’s loyalty

To faith, Belief, humanity
Wearing blinders to pressures,
Social, career, imitators, honesty
That seems to be researchers

Of one’s identity in a world
Teaming with too much variety
Of labels that grind and bind
Our conformity into piety,

While the heart stomps
Into a tamtrum of morality
That doesn’t blend but clamps
Its hold, trying to drown your honesty.

Let your heart speak
It won’t steer you in directions
That deepen the morass that’s belak,
Rather to happiness filled adulation.

Diploma for my poem, HE Holds Hearts

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

HE Holds Hearts

Our bleeding, broken hearts of clay
And blood bleed profusely in a cup
Overflowing with torments of war that sup
On hope’s depression that hangs in a bay

Turned blood red in a husk of hay,
Dried up hope that can’t stay alive
In a world that seems to have forgotten to strive
For peace, for their compassion is blown astray.

HIS palms safeguard the pieces of hearts
Pulverized by visions of deadly murder
On screens that bring screams of mother,
Father, children in horrific suspension as parts

Are blown to smithereens and only identifying
Thing is the ink on limbs carrying names
Of children in black, that gets erased as flames
From explosions erode any ink stains remaining

On skin that deliquesces from being scorched
By burning flames that flutter over
Corpses, gas that dematerialize any cover
With its combustible matter, a deflagrated

Hideous serpent that swallows everything
In its path and ignites into a colorful, reddish blaze
That only receeds upon engulfing the craze
Of all that is in its path, turning it to a Phoenix rising from ash.

Certificate of Appreciation for my acrostic poem, CORRUPTION

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Acrostic


CORRUPTION

Corruct politicians commit crimes
Overlooked for their power trumps
Reality, facts, fairness, equality,
Remembering that by creating
Unprecedented division, depravity, you
Part unity of the people whose humanity
Tends to be set aside for peer pressure
Imposing the rule of the deceiver
Operating on manipulating those weaker
Needing corruption to be rampant while they plan.

Certificate of Distinction for my poem, Smile

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Smile

A smile of kindness is all it takes to lift a soul
Up from feeling lonely, so smile
At the clerk, complement them
And listen to their reaction, a gem,

As their smile lights their eyes
And opens up a conversation of trivialities
That boost the soul, motivating
Them to simply enjoy the day while the sun’s shining.

It’s those simple acts of kindness
That distinguish our uniqueness
And humanity from those who’ve
Lost their compassion and empathy for love

Of their fellow ‘man’ in humanity.

Diploma for my poem, Sunrise’s Qualm

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Sunrise’s Qualm

As the sun rises, illuminating the fields
With a golden hue, I open my window
To bare witness, in silence, to the brew that leads
To hopes clinging to harvests that blow

Your senses with their generosity:
In beauty that’s uplifting,
In harvests that keep hunger at bay by
Providing healthy nutrition while quieting

The doubts from within, whose heads
Try to rise above the sun, yet it steals
Its effectiveness delivering leads
Whose purpose is to uplift you from reels

Of horror that embue despair
Without a care for frailty, disrepair’s
Power travels within susuration’s flair
That are seemingly quiet, but bares

Your soul to mistrust your power
For the buzzing of disrespect
Causes pain in every aspect that’ll glower
At the rest to subdue your rebel’s act

As to have a stake in controlling
Your actions that protect humanity,
It’s lands to stave famine, opposing
The status quo is to rise to the top with quiet unity.

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.

My poem, Trapped Humanity,  published in ILA Magazine

Thank you  for the honor and your hard work.

Exert from my poetry book, Perfectly Flawed poetry for change.

Trapped Humanity

A light breeze picks up and flings dried leaves
Into the air scraping along the asphalt and grass.
Outside,  the sun is shining brightly, but within
The window, where the air is stale from fear of pain
Everyone seems to be hiding behind squares of glass
Letting life pass them by as their isolation presses
Down on their sanity, and cabin fever rises.
People’s tempers become unbearable,
Spouses, children, friends, and close ones
Bear the brunt of each other’s ire, sparingling
They calm one another, worrying how long
This pandemic will stop the living from really living.

It feels like the walls are closing in on me,
Where none were there before.
Don’t let your confinement bind your movement,
Health, prayer, belief, courage, and helpfulness.
Your humanity, sanity, and health will be no less
Important in understanding one another’s plight,
And disdaining those who have so little value for light,
Life, liveliness, and loving, a death sentence, bright
In its suffocating need to oppress
While faith is for the living that’ll never press
Depression into hearts stagnant from hibernation.
