Certificate of Distinction for my poem, Smile

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Smile

A smile of kindness is all it takes to lift a soul
Up from feeling lonely, so smile
At the clerk, complement them
And listen to their reaction, a gem,

As their smile lights their eyes
And opens up a conversation of trivialities
That boost the soul, motivating
Them to simply enjoy the day while the sun’s shining.

It’s those simple acts of kindness
That distinguish our uniqueness
And humanity from those who’ve
Lost their compassion and empathy for love

Of their fellow ‘man’ in humanity.

My poetry is honored again: My Last Five Minutes

My Last Five Minutes

I sit up,
Look up,
Firing my appreciation
To God, in whose contemplation,
Veneration, I’m engrossed
In my thanks to all that
I’ve got, that’s on the spot:
Family to love and cherish,
Kin to pray and think of me as I perish,
Friends who’ll miss my presence,
As our discussions cover matters that hence
Ruminate over social changes
Trending through social media’s
Imposing pressure over all genders
And age groups who’ve surrenders
Their freedom to bondage
Of our sovereignty over our charge:
Our immortal soul, whose barred
From its morality,  replaced
By being led to sins that destroy
Your connection to the all mighty,  a ploy,
To reduce believers that rebel against sins of plurality.

Double Diamond Certificate for my poem: HomeLess

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

HomeLess

What’s a home?
Who defines it?
Does it need a roof on it?
Can’t I live in the street and call it home?

Yes, my home is any corner
Empty,  that I can rest my back
And see any danger coming to strike
A chord of fear in me, as I lay in my corner.

Passersby don’t even acknowledge
My existence, they’re either isolated
With earbuds in their own world,
Or checking their emails, too busy to see and acknowledge

That some humans can’t live in a box
Of walls, as their mental health prevents
Them from accepting the quietude whose costs
To them is too high for them to stay in the box.

Look at the elderly man sitting quietly
In the corner street,  as next time he may
Not be there to greet you. His sad smile will flay
Your heart with its resounding might, quietly

Searching for the next meal from a compassionate
Soul who realizes that this HomeLess man
Needs help, but pride has cost him his pen
That wrote his story of a society that’s not compassionate.

SMILE

Smile= Logo

Personality = Business Card

Others Feel = Your  Trademark

This quote from women supporting women is a modern business model to be followed with honesty, if and only if you believe it to be true; and I do. When you smile in the face of adversity while surrounded by those with frowns and aggression, you show the epitome of someone in control, logical, and can make decisions at the hardest times. Your smile, to me, introduces your personality, which shows the world a facet of who you are: positive, optimistic, problem solver, and cognitive thinker. At the same time, your smile puts people at ease, makes them react more calmly, smile back, think positively instead of with anger, and always makes the other feel better.

So, SMILE, and don’t let anyone convince you that smiling is for the ignorant. No, it’s a tool, wielded correctly in this social quagmire we live in, and will always have a positive outcome.

‘Smile and life will smile back at you,’ is an Arabic saying that is cognizant of Karma. In my opinion, it summarizes the above quotation in simpler terms.

Exert from, ‘Belief’s Immortality ‘, my poetry book, Perfectly Flawed

https://www.amazon.ca/Perfectly-Flawed-poetry-Malak-Kalmoni/dp/1525582518

“… there’s toughness, impregnability, optimism,
That resonate and endure your ability to smile
When the world within and out are depraved,
Depressing, and contrive to oust your faith’s vigor.”

Smile 😃

If humans had taglines, what would yours be?

My tagline would be: smile!. From this simple movement, requiring only 13 muscles, while a frown demands 47, one can extrapolate that smiling is a more natural expression and promotes greater happiness in self and others. I have a philosophy: “A smile a day, keeps the doctor away!” Yes, I’ve appropriated a change in the actual saying, but it’s a Writer’s prerogative to do so!

Perhaps some will feel that I’m being too simplistic, but before you judge, try it out and see the reactions you get!

SMILE

Smile willingly and spread happiness Milling around, hoping to find an Interaction that lifts hopes and dreams, Living vicariously through a SMILE Empowering others to drop depression in a file.
