PALESTINIAN WOMEN SUFFER


Acrostic

Patriots empower the pulverized
Assuming their ability to unify
Leads to greater support
Even when each woman, mother,
Sister, daughter, grandmother has
Truly experienced the power of loss.
In the 150 days of escalations
Neighborhoods have been decimated,
Ire has risen, family trees cut,
Ample theft of property and Palestinians,
Nearly overflowing skin banks with

Women, children, and men’s skins and
Organs are sold illegally, turning a profit,
Meaning Palestinians are being Israeled in
Every way possible. Women
Needing c-section and complicated

Surgeries without anesthesia
Under a cacophony of bombs, snipers
Fixating on murder of medical staff, never
Fearing paying the piper, as they’re
Empowered by arms and tech that
Reveals their cowardice and courage of women survivors.

Women around the world keep your eyes on these courageous women, as the difficulties they’re overcoming are unimaginable.

International Writer’s Day

International Writer’s Day
Acrostic

Internet has facilitated global connections
Never stop the growth of writers
That rend their hearts as their words flow
Empowering the weak to
Remember their worth
Never succumbing to oppression’s
Timely propagation that cleaves
Intimate family members into
Open enemity, clearly ‘Dividing & Conquering’
Needlessly aggressive, destructive,
Avid in mercilessly taking resources and
Leaving nothing to the Indigenous peoples.

Write, revel, rebel, roast, rumble the gruesome
Reality of a world built on Materialism
Instead of unity of humanity
That lends compassion and succor that
Eventually works together against the oppressor
Ruining the ecology, separating family,
Solidifying Darwin’s rules of supremacy

Dealing in strength that overpowers others
Amid illegal, inhumane practices that have
Yet to be punished.

‘Wish for Peace’, a poem accepted for publication

‘Wish for Peace’ is a poem reflecting on the genocide that we’re all bearing witness to. The images, sounds, emotions, fear, PTSD from bombardments’ effects, aggression, loss of entire families, murder of journalists, and much more are the basis for my ‘Wish for Peace’, not for me, but for them.

Enclosed is an exert of the poem:

…

Their children to schools
With filled bellies of fresh food
Sprinkled with life giving water that drools
In honor of a wish for peace that stood

On the doorstep waiting, waiting …

Certificate of Excellence, My Love

My Love

If “Love opens the most impossible gates;” and
“Love is the gate to all the secrets of the universe.”
Then, love is all powerful, eternal, rebellious, never bland,
But compassionate, understanding In a universe

Filled with dissent, competition, a love of money,
And sin. I give thanks that my love, husband,
Is my rock, my motivator, and one key
To my writing that’s unwavering and always holds my hand.

My love is there for the difficult decisions,
Guidance and friend to our children,
Has sleepless nights when they’re in positions
Of upheaval that require strategic precision.

For me, he is star in a dark night,
The shoulder I cry into when life’s unbearable
Losses enrobe my heart in darkness, as he helps me fight
The devouring abyss making it acceptable.

Triple Silver Certificate, Strawberry Moon

Strawberry Moon

The strawberry moon lights the night
Sky, with its radiance that illuminates
The bridge, as though a spotlight
Is placed on its center that highlights

Its empty, serene wonder,
That transcends time and place
To amaze you with its purposeful power
That helps nature become alive in a thrice

As you watch the moonbeams
Caress and hover across the verdant
Trees, bushes whose beourgeoning leaves
Are bathed in its heavenly glow, brilliant

In its choices of a scene out of a
Painter’s portait of the beauty nature hides.

Certificate of excellence, Cupid’s Valentine

Cupid’s Valentine

The month of love and adoration
Is the shortest one of all!
Not all happiness can be packed into its summation,
Short, though it is, its effects are a ball!

In its center, couples celebrate their love,
As if you only praise your unity, then!
And every other day falls short of its possessive
Hold on your cheery life filled only with a pen.

The one you use to organize your life,
Strategize your next goal, perfect compassion
That leads to compromise and less strife,
While dissent and enmity to envy’s fashion.

Duty and love are two sides of a coin,
Where duty can choke the life out of veneration
As it stomps out the cheer from your conjoin.

Certificate of excellence, Overflowing Chalice

Overflowing Chalice

Choices, choices, how many do you make everyday?
Good choices, poor choices, which are the best in a fray?

Career choices at a young age,
Friendships good and bad, relegate all that’s a rage,

Pressure, peers, social, cultural, all turn an empty page
In a life that’s overwhelmed with questions of existence.

Run, run, run along,
Round, round you go all the way, longing, long,

Wishing there exists a preset solution
That facilitates life’s process for a decision.

The summation of all experiences create
A diverse stream in the chalice if inequity’s rate.

Depending on your perception and that of your kin,
The chalice overflows with a negatively skewed bin

That lowers your morale when all you need
Is for the chalice of injustice to be empty indeed.

Certificate of Achievement, Cigarette

Cigarette 🚬

Holding it with my fingertips,
Caressing the paper filters,
Lighting a match, inhale, exhale airs,

Air that’s stuffy, foggy, stinky.
It casts an oppressive smell,
That you try to outrun like a bell

Ringing in lunchtime,
The smell becomes a halting
Breath that stalls in your lung

Fighting for oxygen’s purity
To flush out the dreadful
Odor that sticks to hair that fell,

And clothes that have a stench
Of smoke, driving you to asphyxiation
As you endeavor to hide from the pulverization

Of aromas that bleed deposits
Into bronchials that hinder
A normal breather.

Double Bronze certificate, Feared Full Moon

Feared Full Moon

On a full moon, the fog enrobes
The barren tree branches,
One of which holding twin carrion birds
Waiting for the opportune moment to pounces.

They watch furtively as ghostly
Figures of varying shapes, try
To dance around the grand piano’s harmony
Of Gothic, suspenseful cacophony

That puts the ghosts in a daze,
Floating to and fro, getting closer to the blaze
Of screeching, caterwauling cries, phase
In and out as new spirits float in a craze

To reach the soul wrenching
Sounds of agony, depression, leering,
Expecting to be driven to healing
From their sweet suffering that’s heart rending.
