Accolade and Review for my poem,  ‘Humanitarian Aid’

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab An amazing aspirational and inspiring poem. Malak. So much more needs to be done to help the less fortunate. And as you say, creating well paying jobs that support families and communities is the ideal. All people need meaningful, fulfilling work they can be proud of. By, Linda Powers O’Dell

‘Humanitarian Aid’

How’s philanthropy helping the down-trodden?
Charities galore, making money, beholden
To the filthy rich, who part cautiously,
With their material goods, heavenly,

Is their allocation as they help the needy,
Whose prayers for the givers are done loudly
In order for all to hear of their philanthropic
Activities, that are only a drop in the oceanic

Depths of need and devastation that exists
In a world where humanity’s enslaved and persists
In demanding accolades for what should be
An ethical and humane gesture to help people

In need of a helping hand here and there,
Preferably, a job that’ll give enough to prepare
For the task of supporting their family
In a bid to never fall under the miserly

Capitalist whose only thought
Is to where he can squeeze, what was taught,
The best buck st the expense of those
Who need it most, but will give it without pause

So their pride in their abilities
Shines in the eyes of families.

Accolade and Review for my poem,  Why not ‘Wake Up’

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Excellent reveille by a poem, Malak; it’s high time that we wake up to the suffering and inequality of this world. By repeating your refrain after every line in the first stanza, you create a powerful sense of urgency; you emphasize each travesty in need of redress. In your third stanza you address our consciences directly as you commend being humane empathetic and compassionate. I note your focus on “colonial consumerism,” no argument here, although almost all governments are inclined to exploit the resources owned by others. Justice and equality should indeed be our twin North stars. Superb poem, bravo!! By Linda Powers O’Dell

Thank you for the honor and your hard work

Why Not ‘Wake Up’?

‘Wake Up’,
The world Is in chaos,
‘Wake Up’
The colonizer is a killer,
‘Wake Up’
The losses keep adding up,
‘Wake Up’
The deafening silence is complicit,
‘Wake Up’
You’re made to feel helpless
‘Wake Up’
Your job is to be aware
‘Wake Up’
Your job is to speak out
‘Wake Up’
Your job is to make others aware

‘Wake Up’
‘Wake Up’
‘Wake Up’

Your conscious is knocking,
Let it in, it’ll remind you of being
Humane, empathetic,  compassionate, striving
To ‘Wake Up’ others with you collecting
Them one at a time, uniting, growing,
In voice and power of the many, balancing
The scale of colonial consumerism compacting
Your goals into a materialistic being
Rather than a human feeling
Others’ plight, and appreciating,
With certitude, what you have as striking
In its simplicity and safety, conquering
The world with justice and equality without blubbering.

Wake Up,
Wake Up,
Wake Up.

Satisfaction of a Reaction

In what ways does hard work make you feel fulfilled?

As a mother, teacher, and writer, the fact that there’s a reaction to the job that’s immediate is very rewarding. As a mother, more patience is required, as there are stages the children go through when the mother feels at a loss, even that she’s losing control of the situation. It’s similar to a teacher, as patience is also key, but the reward of the students enjoying and participating in the class are fulfilling. Finally, while patience as I write is a requirement, I always feel anxious when I post my writing, as I worry about reactions and perceptions about the content of my work. The latter isn’t a worry in a class, as the curriculum is your guide, the mother’s morals are hers, while writing is perceived on a global scale that’s not limited in scope, culture, civilization, or language. And therein lies the difference ! 🙄
