Award of Appreciation for my poem, Education’s Bought

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Education’s Bought

An education can be bought or sold,
An educator, teacher opens wisdom of old
And new spontaneously, as bold

As can be, rebelling against ingrained
Stereotypes, racism, inequality that gained
Fame throughout colonialism and payed

The price of their Ideology in blood
Of the colonized, the victims who fold
Under the pressure and division mastered

Through teaching the ‘other’ their
Impotence vis a vis controlled power
Of technology, ‘Civilisation’, that cower

Behind parts of religion without
Delving into knowledge whose fought
To  soar in the brightest light, bought

With it wisdom, diversity, understanding
Of people who are cultural, socializing
Being who need one another to go flying.

Accolade for my poem,  Journey in The Womb

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Journey in the Womb

As my umbilical cord feeds
My body, my mind listens to sounds,
Healing my anxiety for love, hunger,
Yet, as my hunger is assuaged, proper

My mind swims into a sea
Of possibilities about a future, per se
That I’ve only heard whispers
Of through parents, family, conversers

Around me speaking a language
I can’t decipher, but I dream of a page
Filled with goals, careers, that crave
Attention, hard work, and pave

The road to mama’s adulation,
For her bias is such that any competition
With myself is rewarded by smiles,
Cuddles, Hugs conquering piles

Of doubt that she murders
With simple pride that radiates
Through my success and comforts
In failures that bend self-worth in ports

Of darkness alleviated only
By recalling her strength properly
Reflected in the potions of TLC
She hands out, seeming effortless to see.

I vascillate in wanting to be
Just like her, or a teacher, like
Her, a fashionista, like her,
A passionate supporter, like her,

A believer, like her, but mostly,
I want her to be proud of the crazy
Child she raised who embraces
Life’s turbulent obstacles with prices

Paid in smiles for Karma will
Return my gift into a thousand pill
Against depression for my strength
Comes from her breath.

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.

P eople of color, native whose vigor
E nlightened the colonizer on ways to
O verpower the climate, use nature’s gifts
P opulate using a balance of needs and protecting
L everaging knowledge, honesty, innocence,
E xcluding ethnic cleansing of a native’s peoples.

Loving the job

What makes a teacher great?

While loving teaching is the main factor for being a great teacher,  I also believe that a person needs to have an innate ability to teach by connecting to students via their needs, their hobbies, and emotions. The teacher also needs to know how to lower the requirements, if necessary, so that difficulties or gaps in knowledge are covered.

Terrifyingly funny in teaching

Emotions into lessons of life

And strives to raise abilities

Complementing continuously hard work

Heralding joy in accomplishments

Eternally increasing expectations to motivate

Reading, communicating, and accepting ‘self’.

Nurturer, mother, teacher, and writer

What are you good at?

The first 3 have the same base, that of a nurturer. I love having people around enjoying a welcoming and comfortable ambiance that’s conductive to discussions. I also love being a mother, as there’s a great amount of give and take, learning and teaching that takes place in that type of relationship. Mostly, I love giving out hugs to all my babies and extended Family, mostly ;).

As for teaching, it combines the above 2 and taught me that friendship comes in all shapes, sizes, and ages. Some of my students continue to text me after over a decade having gone by. The best feeling as a teacher is knowing you’ve connected with your students and built a rapport that lasts.

Finally, my writing comes from the above 3, as I’m an introvert who has difficulty saying the right thing in a conversation, so I relegate my feelings and observations to my writing.
