Gold Certificate for my poem, Taking Initiative

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Taking Initiative

The youth of today have proven
Their strength, Fortitude, and given
Up freedom to take a stand against
Oppressors, murders, genocide creators post

Their dominion, ‘victimhood’ on news
That’s twisted to empower their views
Knowing that in this age of tech
Even children have the ability to peck

Into the ocean of lies where grains
Of truths are shiny diamonds that pains
The oppressor’s hold over ignorance
That’s being swept away in a prance

By the creative youths who’ve shared
Their findings unhindered
By the punishment that governments
Hold over them, deportation,  prison, jobless …

Review and accolade for my poem, CHIAROSCURO

Thank you for the honor and your hard work. I always wait impatiently for your comments.  Thank you

CHIAROSCURO
Chained light,
Heavenly bright
Incessant shadow, don’t
Avert the radiance of justce
Reflecting right’s light
Offering hope when despair is
Somewhat easier to drown in, while
Courage to fight the battles of equality
Under the umbrella of darkened power
Revealed in rays that shine a ritulant glow
Over the dispossessed of humanity’s light.

Certificate of excellence, Overflowing Chalice

Overflowing Chalice

Choices, choices, how many do you make everyday?
Good choices, poor choices, which are the best in a fray?

Career choices at a young age,
Friendships good and bad, relegate all that’s a rage,

Pressure, peers, social, cultural, all turn an empty page
In a life that’s overwhelmed with questions of existence.

Run, run, run along,
Round, round you go all the way, longing, long,

Wishing there exists a preset solution
That facilitates life’s process for a decision.

The summation of all experiences create
A diverse stream in the chalice if inequity’s rate.

Depending on your perception and that of your kin,
The chalice overflows with a negatively skewed bin

That lowers your morale when all you need
Is for the chalice of injustice to be empty indeed.

Fightback

FIGHTBACK

Self doubt is the worst feeling ever
Self worth is even worse, when negative, even bleaker.
How do you fight against the insubstantial?
How do you overcome the intangible?
