Certificate of Appreciation for my poem,

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Wishing for Death

As you age, wisdom flits in moments,
Unexpected as they happen quietly,
Without fanfare, they turn disappointments,
Successes into an arduous world where honesty

Equality, and values of empathy
Have flown the coop and landed on depravity,
Turning goodness to a selfish policy
That rots humanity from within, And honestly

Watching the evaporating humanity
Within drives a sword into our hope for the future
Of society that’s sold its soul carelessly
To the highest bidder for avarice is a prayer

That never lets up, while the joy
Of Community’s standing together
Has rusted shut the chains of hope in a ploy
To resuscitate ethics’ splendor.

This disillusionment makes me wish
For death earlier so as not To watch
Decadence become their sole purpose, a brush
And it’s a contagion that sucks the soul into a hatch.

Certificate of Appreciation  for my poem:

Thank you, administrators, for the honor and your hard work. 🙏

Power of Myths

The Myths of yore continue to be the core
Core of tales galore, that have fantastical,
Fantastical, epic adventures and morals,
Morals that still apply in modern,
Modern society where technology,
Technology, AI are what galvanize,
Galvanize social and ethical conscience,
Conscience of a humanity that’s fallen,
Fallen into depravity, hedonism,
Hedonism of empowering the ego,
Ego that promotes no piety,
Piety for powers greater than yours.

Reading and reading

How do you waste the most time every day?

My first love is reading. I’m a junkie for all types of romances, poetry, news, and the Quoraan. The first 2 are there to improve my writing style and incorporating new forms into my poetry. The news, however, I use in order to add eco-socio-political issues in my poetry.

Now, your question would be, how are the readings then a waste of time? My answer is that they all give me an escape, a world that I interact with that’s entirely mine. Perhaps it’s selfish, but I believe each one serves a purpose for me.

As for the Quraan, that too is an escape into faith, where belief, ideals, and values are unchanging, clear, and just. At least, that’s my perspective.
