Platinum Award for my collaboration poem with Dr. Laxman Sahoo, Wander At Night

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Wander at Night

A night
When the moon is shining bright
Lights up the darkened road as he
Walks alone, with his cane

Illuminating his path at night
As the forests and mountains fight
To cover the dirt road combating
For supremacy, as he walks by, thinking…

As the beautifully quiet night
Envelops his being, his Wandering flight
Into the unknown natural dangers,
Not forgetting the man made ones

Even scarier in such a darkened night,
When owls and predators alight
In a feat to survive and reign supreme
In a world of beauty, and night
When evil rules minds and dives into sin.

As he wander and cannot sleep with eyes closed.
He walks barefoot, with his feet on the dewcovered
Grass, the shepherd boy, with a plough and cloth protecting his shoulders,
He walks to the field before sunrise.
He has to walk miles down the hill,
With clothes in colorful bursts
As winter comes for the Babus!
The laborers, the poor are always poor.
They have to endure hardships with masked smile.

Open your eyes, oh ye rich people
The poor around you are helpless.
Those in your service are suffering on cold nights.
They are suffering in sleepless pains.
They walk with hungry eyes before sunrise.
Ones go to golden fields to worship Maa Lakshmi.
Unselfishly holding ond to faith as savior..!!!

Accolade for my poem,  Killing Hunger

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Killing Hunger

Famine has lent a scrawny
Build to people’s agony
Of being constantly hungry
They search, vainly, for sustenance that cry:

Killing hunger is a crime

Of conscience for food is plentiful
If shared, not horded in a full
Contingent of warehouses where gruel
Is hidden from the poor, while for the fanciful

Killing hunger is a rhyme

For each individual to recall
For each crumb means a loss of a ball-
Room of people daily who have none but fall
Groveling for a pittance to call

Killing hunger is a crime

Of outstanding proportion
For man’s compassion
Has died with the materialization
Of the individual needs before population

Killing hunger is a rhyme

That never ends, a cycle of obsession
Survival of the Ego before orchestration
Of growth for all that leads to destruction
Of cries and perspiration

Killing hunger is a crime
With no reason or rhyme.

Certificate of Achievement for my poem: Humanitarian Aid

Thank you,  administrators,  for the accolade.  Your work is highly appreciated.

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.
