Certificate of Achievement for my acrostic poem, EQUILIBRIUM

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

EQUILIBRIUM

Equality, equilibrium, equivalent, all
Quiver needing balance under the
Umbrella of justice, missing today,
Instead, we’ve got inequality where
Lean youths are arrested for wearing
Inked flags, demonstrating their humanity
Baring their souls for all to see their being
Riled by a lack of equilibrium, where rights are
Impaled by authorities to empower the
Undisclosed truth that money rules, while
Majesty of honesty, equilibrium, and justice fall.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem: Rebuild Her Vision

Rebuild Her Vision

In her mind’s eye, she sees the new,
New city built on the ashes, rubble,
Rubble and destruction of war,
War that took away family,
Family whose lives were taken,
Taken violently in bombs,
Bombs whose yield was astounding,
Astounding even objective observers,
Observers of world’s humanity,
Humanity whose humane compassion,
Compassion never fails to rise,
Rise in younger generations,
Generations whose conscience,
Conscience in battling against oppression,
Oppression of the Indigenous,
Indigenous populations for material,
Material resources that rebuild,
Rebuild what was destroyed,
Destroyed cities become futuristic,
Futuristic, symmetric, organized,
Organized to represent power,
Power of Faith’s survival,
Survival among death’s door,
Door that opens into a brilliant,
Brilliant future, where equality,
Equality, wisdom, harmony,
Harmony of races, understanding,
Understanding that unity,
Unity is forged in steel,
Steel that has a feel,
Feel for needs of families,
Families whose support, love,
Love and ambition is a construct,
Construct of a world of utopian,
Utopian haven on earth’s astounding,
Astounding beauty that enraptures,
Enraptures our imagination into,
Into creating our heavenly vision.

Diploma Certificate for my poem, Shipwreck Dreamer

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

Shipwreck Dreamer

Dreamer, dream me a world,
World where shipwrecks don’t stand,
Stand a chance of occurring simply,
Simply because injustice doesn’t,
Doesn’t exist in its vocabulary,
Vocabulary of those who put aside,
Aside hate, prejudices, racism,
Racism that lends a hand ,
Hand to segregation, violence,
Violence based on ignorance,
Ignorance of factual reality,
Reality that’s not AI generated,
Generated to create dissention,
Dissention that makes people easier,
Easier to control in smaller groups,
Groups Whose unity is divided,
Divided so they’re sold a storyline,
Storyline they want promoted,
Promoted to make them victims,
Victims whose reality is they are,
They Are the aggressors in lamb skin,
Skin that’s white passing,
Passing the test of integration,
Integration into the Elitists’ circle,
Circle that turns the wheel back,
Back on sender, by destroying,
Destroying the oppressor.

Certificate of excellence, To Dream a World

To Dream a World

As I sleep, my mind creates a world
Of imaginary beings living in harmony,
Where faeries, humans, unicorns, have a word
That’s heard and fuses into all that’s savory.

The faery is such a beauty, holding
Audiences with all and sundry. All, all
Coalesce in one community, cohabitating
One space peacefully and call out, call

The world out on its synchronicity’s need to
Bathe its species, human and other
In a light filled with a pleasing symphony too
Overpowering to be replaced with a hater

That reveals destruction of order of a solicitous
Nature that helps captivate your pretentious cover
Of needing love to be the universal currency instead of audacious
Violence that oppresses the value of being a lover.

Kind vs Unkind

Having seen this post, it reminded me of the plight of Palestinians who’ve been oppressed, subjugated, and mistreated for 7 decades, and how even under bombardment, there are men and women trying to help one another. It’s astounding how colonization has fostered a sense of community and kindness to others’ suffering, all of which has been posted on Instagram/ X, if the administrators didn’t have the chance to remove them yet.

The atrocities they have faced and will continue to face are unimaginable and incomprehensible, as it’s too violent to process.

Author: Perfectly Flawed poetry for change. Poetry that critiques colonialism,  injustice,  and fosters self-worth and growth.

Peace Certificate of Excellence

PEACE

Acrostic


Please pray and provide peaceful
Elemental needs for those in danger of
Armed military conquests, who
Convene to critically splice countries to support their
Economies and spread fear of their power.

Honesty, faith, and justice

What principles define how you live?

The principles that drive me most are honesty, faith, and justice. When it comes to honesty, we have a saying that says, ‘honesty will hurt in the moment, but it will also teach you’, perhaps it’s a harsh lesson, but when it’s learned from friends and family it’s better than from strangers. I’ve always hated liars and pretenders who talk a good game but are really envious of your honesty and strength to stand by it. So, yes, I will choose honesty, always.

Faith for me, defines the principles I live by: nurturer, respectful, accepting, flexible, listener, just, and a person who tries as much as possible to practice what I preach. Included in my faith is the acceptance that justice prevails always, whether you make sure people give it to you, or if you leave it to God to get it for you, because Karma is a b-tch and will bite you in the ass!

Just Money

Just, lust, must,

Guts, gusts, and grubs

Champs, chumps, and lumps.

All in all, they all face the power of the just.

Who comes first, who loses is inapropos

As long as they know that injustices can’t go unpunished!

Crime, criminal, abuser, traitor, saviors

All have time to face the music, all pained.

Those who break it, must inevitably, dance to the tune,

The music of victory over poverty and those weakly,

Gingerly try to step away from heads that roll,

Playing the part of the weakling who’s accused wrongly.

Oh what would it be like to find a world where justice

Is not only a must, but applies to all stratas of societies

Whether poor, middle class, rich, or multicultural,

All revere the law and all that’s lawful.

Oh how convenient it is to fall into the cracks

Of those who judge others by their looks

Rather than their actions, that require faith in a broken

System that reveres the material more than ethics.
