Certificate of Appreciation for my acrostic poem, CORRUPTION

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Acrostic


CORRUPTION

Corruct politicians commit crimes
Overlooked for their power trumps
Reality, facts, fairness, equality,
Remembering that by creating
Unprecedented division, depravity, you
Part unity of the people whose humanity
Tends to be set aside for peer pressure
Imposing the rule of the deceiver
Operating on manipulating those weaker
Needing corruption to be rampant while they plan.

Award of Appreciation for my poem, Education’s Bought

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Education’s Bought

An education can be bought or sold,
An educator, teacher opens wisdom of old
And new spontaneously, as bold

As can be, rebelling against ingrained
Stereotypes, racism, inequality that gained
Fame throughout colonialism and payed

The price of their Ideology in blood
Of the colonized, the victims who fold
Under the pressure and division mastered

Through teaching the ‘other’ their
Impotence vis a vis controlled power
Of technology, ‘Civilisation’, that cower

Behind parts of religion without
Delving into knowledge whose fought
To  soar in the brightest light, bought

With it wisdom, diversity, understanding
Of people who are cultural, socializing
Being who need one another to go flying.

Diploma for my poem, Dualities

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Dualities

The binary opposition symbols in life have
Somewhat helped identify that you gave
Thought to the ‘other’ by describing
The ‘self’ through an opposing

Lense not unlike the way we divide
Our characters with Yin and Yan hide
The existence of otherness within
That is masked and out of site, in a bin.

The tree of life is no different
Then, the struggle within that’s bent
On having ‘good’ win against ‘evil’,
Knowing the oversimplification that’ll

Persuade the peridic nature of anger
To cool with the calming breeze, paper,
That hang onto the branches, safer,
As emotions try to erode its beautifier

Of shades, hues of greens, pleasing
To the eye, while knowing that changing
From one state of emotion to another
Is as fugacious as the flow of a timer

Set off too swiftly to linger
On the abstinence of a greater
Power that helps settle the struggle
Making managing life easier than trouble.

Diploma Certificate for my poem, Veiled Butterfly

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

Veiled Butterfly

Her veil of flowers and butterflies
Flit around her head as her eyes
Wander into the night skies.

Her beauty shines through
Her astounding eyes of blue,
Framed by lashes of a brownish hue.

Her rosy lips stutter with each
Winged flap, trying vainly to catch
The flight of the butterfly and latch

Onto its fringes and take flight
With her fantasms in direct conflict
With reality’s nightmarish bite.

Her lashes flutter as her revelry
Into a utopian wonder clashes sensibly
With a reality where her veil is horribly

Marred by Stereotypes that bind
Perceptions of beauty of the mind
To terrorist activities that make you grind

Your frustrations for a lack of understanding
And communication that’s building
Roadblocks that inhibit freedom of living.

Certificate of Outstanding,  acrostic poem: SOVEREIGNTY

SOVEREIGNTY

Suffocating the subjugated with sovereignty
Openly uttering negativity to sublimanate the
Vanity of the sovereign imposing rules,
Entertaining the ‘other’ to propagate being
Receptive to differences and acceptance of
Even alteration of ‘self’ to become
Instantly ‘sovereign-passing’, whose race is unimportant
Gravitating to implementing a ‘New’ identity,
Needing integration into society,  never
Trusting that your OWN IDentity identifies
Your language, culture, civilization that’s uniquely You.

Enigmas Galore


The world is a mystery,
Its ecosystems are all aflurry
With busy microsystems that bury
Secrets we need to survive in a hurry.

Within the Amazon forest
That’s teaming with microcosms, that test
The geniuses who uncover their best
Kept perplexing plexus in a quest

For cognizance of what may stop death.

Searching oceanic reefs for answers,
Is another forager for more enigmas,
That’ll blow your mind in amazements,
Which serve humanity’s placements

Above all in food chains, that destroy,
Instead of build and preserve your coy
Knowledge that man can toy
With nature and devastate in a ploy

To persuade all that He’s superior
While being ignorant of ‘self’ and ‘other’,
Where ‘other’ may be race or
Flaura, fauna, marine, that forever

Amaze in their aesthetic and giving nature.
Awake! Awake from your slumber
And remember, life doesn’t need your surrender!
