Certificate of Excellence for my poem, Silent Angel

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

This poem is dedicated to my mother and all mothers of great character.

Silent Angel

Mother, mother, angel forever,
Whether on earth or in heaven,
You lead us into prayer,

Teaching us discipline, as without
It we’re just marauders, aimless,
Painfully self-conscious of falling in a bout

In the boxing ring of life. Your selflessness
Taught us compassion, empathy
That strengthen our humanity in less

Aggravating circumstances that bless
Us with your sweet prayers, heard
By GOD to empower us through hardness

Of disillusionments, disappointments
That lay heavily on our soft hearts,
Yet, my angel, you raise me from depressants

To brilliant smile that glitters
Blinding the observer into thinking
Your worries are absent glimmers.

Cosby Show, Perry Mason

What TV shows did you watch as a kid?

As a teen, I enjoyed the Cosby Show, as it represented North American society and its critique through character interactions. The fact that I was an immigrant and needed to learn how families functioned in this region so I could better integrate in a society that felt strange to me.  A few years later,I became interested in how law is perceived and applied in courts, so Perry Mason.

However,  as I became an adult, I learned that these shows were to promote a particular ideology,  rather than represent actual society.  I was duly disappointed with that realization.
