Revolution of Change
Colonialism’s Ideology is based on change, Change the ‘other’ because they’re different, Different in language, culture, morals, beliefs, Beliefs that spark imaginations’ Revolution, Revolution that asserts the need to exist, Exist in autonomy, exist freely, exist happily, Happily maturing into adulthood, Adulthood knowing that learning is constant, … …
Please the dominant who seems to succeed, Succeed in seeping into your mind, Mind, and replacing its values with rot, Rot that decays social values, Families, Families are broken asunder, and the backbone Backbone of society falls into rubble.

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 at the expense of those Who need it most, but will give it without pause
As their pride in their abilities Shines in the eyes of families.

HomeLess
What’s a home? Who defines it? Does it need a roof on it? Can’t I live in the street and call it home?
Yes, my home is any corner Empty, that I can rest my back And see any danger coming to strike A chord of fear in me, as I lay in my corner.
Passersby don’t even acknowledge My existence, they’re either isolated With earbuds in their own world, Or checking their emails, too busy to see and acknowledge
That some humans can’t live in a box Of walls, as their mental health prevents Them from accepting the quietude whose costs To them is too high for them to stay in the box.
Look at the elderly man sitting quietly In the corner street, as next time he may Not be there to greet you. His sad smile will flay Your heart with its resounding might, quietly
Searching for the next meal from a compassionate Soul who realizes that this HomeLess man Needs help, but pride has cost him his pen That wrote his story of a society that’s not compassionate.

A Well Told Tale
As September flows with fall Leaves, school starts, and students Congregate together in circles that ball Their hatred into sweetened scents,
Like fall spiced cakes melting In the palate, but goes down like Knives tearing away confidence, striking The most vulnerable to rise above them as they hike
Away, fleeing the hurt, depression That steals away their happiness, Cheer, and optimism inflicting compression Of the heart into heated coal, unless,
Unless I come to the forefront With an uplifting anecdote that reveals The impunity of the instigators whose font In capitals, try to keep their popularity that feels
Like actors on show, who need Evidence of their power over Others, while my short tale told Them both that intellect and humor
Rise above vanity and inflicting pain, As my travail reveals their shortcomings As one hurts, while the other gain Insurmountable damage to their self-images.
As they let my intervention sink in The depressed learns a lesson In strength to overcome negativity in A world that seems to require it, as would any prison.

U nder the viral trends of social media, B usy bees are seldom at rest, they consume I nfinite videos, news- real or fake-, cartoons, Q uibbling over media’s contexts, profits, U ndeniable effects of dehumanization of I ndomitable spirits of warriors, believers, T raveling together a road filled with distress O mnipresent in their daily lives, as their struggles are shown as U biquitous, acceptable even as one sees their S tarvation, amputations, and orphans, smiling still.

As I start my trek into the woods, I note the natural stairway leading To a summit. With each step I take, my son prods Me on with encouraging, motivating Talk that never falls short of helping me Uncover my hidden strengths, in time
To achieve each goal in a space Where my comfort is of paramount Importance, but I still need the grace And humbleness to accept advice, even as I mount An internal war to grow outside my realm Of family, friends, extending my wings in my palm
To reach out to those who’ve lost So much, as they feel stunted, stagnant, But, really, their strengths are epic needing to be emulated.
