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
Drive 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.

3rd Place Diploma Certificate for my poem,

No Comments on 3rd Place Diploma Certificate for my poem,

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

Time

Nothing lasts forever except time,
Time that rhymes with grime,
Grime that distorts our beauty,
Beauty that’s transient, never lasts in a bevy
Bevy of buzzing bees whose sting
Sting is deadlier than any bombing,
Bombing of others to assert power,
Power that leads to atrocities of murder.
Murder or death will take us,
Us too quickly, for time flies,
Flies away As you stake,
Stake a name in this world,
World that demands your poemagranite blood,
Blod, sweat, and money,
Money to live honorably, careening,
Careening swiftly in society,
Society that binds your values,
Values you live by to survive,
Survive the war of fleeting life.
Life that makes You dependent
Dependent on others, loss of youthful,
Youthful vigor as you become a shadow,
Shadow of who you were, dynamic,
Dynamic with every step now shadowed
Shadowed by limitations of time,
Time whose shadow is darker
Darker than life’s cheer,
Cheer that demands optimism for
For a life lived in light against shadow of time.

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

Short

Short; I’ve learned that life is too short,
What are the necessities of such a sport?

Live, live, little by little, enjoy it all,
Your childhood, youth, adulthood, cycled circle

Of flaws that turn into strengths
That raise you up to a pinnacle of breaths

That feel uniquely important for you not to fall.
The abyss below can be a starkly black ball,

Or a bright sunny day filled with fun and play.
Enjoy the rainbows that come after a rainy day.

Those days are infrequent, transient,
And easily missed if you’re mired in your own dejected

Despair, whose darkness can’t be pierced
By the frivolity, fun, smiles, laughter of living and dead.

Don’t, don’t let that despair put you down,
Scare it away with your strength of will!

Happy November 😊

Love November

The days are shorter,

The rain is faster,

The skyline slowly becomes barer,

The colors are a wonder,

The walks are easier: sweatier,

Life slows down, and you move farther.
