Poetry for Change

Breathe Through The Blood
I’m drowning in blood,
Blood of families blown asunder,
Asunder. Limbs and heads loll,
Loll, broken, decapitated, bloody,
Bloody from arteries leaking,
Leaking from wounds, impossible,
Impossible to tend, as hospitals,
Hospitals have lost the ability to heal,
Heal thousands of extreme wounds,
Wounds teaching ‘How to breathe,
Breathe under water’ and blood, swim freely,
Freely through the morass of corpses,
Corpses dismembered in bombs,
Bombs used to spread fear,
Fear for the need to survive,
Survive another day of massacres,
Massacres in refugee camps,
Camps made of flimsy tents,
Tents made of canvas easily destroyed,
Destroyed by a breeze, flammable with fire,
Fire that burns all to smithereens.,
Smithereens and shards of pagers,
Pagers and phones turned to bombs,
Bombs that made it necessary to remove,
Remove patients’ eyes, that traumatized,
Traumatized surgeons whose job,
Job is to help their patients survive,
Survive, yes, but with which abilities?

A simple ‘Wish for Peace’, where children play, innocently not wake in fear as they hear a plane pass them by; where families have a right to live together, where death comes only by accident or age, where the need for justice is stronger than making money, and where prosperity is achievable. I hope this International Day for Peace brings up REAL PEACE.
Wish for Peace
The fragile beauty of the dandelion
In my hand whose grip on land
Dares you to eradicate its presence in Zion
As it spreads through the wish for peace to lend
A hand to those in need of a blend
Of peace in their days of suffering
Without end.
Wish for peace for them to send
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
Patiently for humanity’s response
To help save those whose beliefs, never straying,
Empowers their wish for peace
For a new generation without
The need to revisit the trauma of today’s
Dire escalations of genocides in a bout
Of cataclysmic fear whose only wish is for peace.

Hi everyone, I’m extatic to announce that 4 of my poems have been published under the above series. The first poem is in the fourth series, and 3 others in number 6.
Below are the links for the chapters that I’m published in:
Ceasefire NOW! chapter #6
I’m very excited about this series, as it helped me get my voice and feelings heard. It’s a very difficult time for all of us, watching the violence, degradation, death, and starvation taking place.

Bright Darkness
The soulless soul seeps into the sewers
Hiding, in hindsight, from historic hatefulness
Heaving the heavy heart into the whole
Whose empty empathy embarks on evil’s espousal. ….
Resistance by Pen
My pen is out of breath,
Its ink seeps, like blood,
Into the world’s depth:
War, murder, violence never rest, but fed ….
End
Reclaim your humanity.
Reclaim your biology.
Reclaim your nature.
Reclaim your compassion.
Reclaim your imagination.
Reclaim your wonder.
Reclaim your freedom for all. …
