Certificate of Excellence for my poem, Worldly Secrets

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Worldly Secrets

The world is encased in books, where,
You travel from East to West, meds are
Enclosed in others, while language and culture
Unlock the secrets of the world through
Culture, songs, poetry that are a breakthrough
To understanding each other, unlocking secrets that brew.

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.

Diploma Certificate for my poem, Veiled Butterfly

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

Veiled Butterfly

Her veil of flowers and butterflies
Flit around her head as her eyes
Wander into the night skies.

Her beauty shines through
Her astounding eyes of blue,
Framed by lashes of a brownish hue.

Her rosy lips stutter with each
Winged flap, trying vainly to catch
The flight of the butterfly and latch

Onto its fringes and take flight
With her fantasms in direct conflict
With reality’s nightmarish bite.

Her lashes flutter as her revelry
Into a utopian wonder clashes sensibly
With a reality where her veil is horribly

Marred by Stereotypes that bind
Perceptions of beauty of the mind
To terrorist activities that make you grind

Your frustrations for a lack of understanding
And communication that’s building
Roadblocks that inhibit freedom of living.

First Place for a collaborative poem,

Thank you, administrators, for the honor and your hard work. Justice Kingsley, it was great working with you.

Building Bridges of Hope

Dusty roads and crowded streets,
Echo dreams with weary beats.
Hands once torn by toil and pain,
Now reach across the loss and strain.

Through power cuts and skies of grey,
Hope still finds a way to stay.
A hawker’s smile, a neighbor’s cheer,
Soft whispers drown the weight of fear.

No bridge too weak, no dream too small,
Together, we can rise from all.
With grit and love, we pave the way,
For brighter nights and fairer days.

©JustEase ✍️


Building a physical bridge
Is easy while bridging Stereotypes
Requires eons of activism in an age
Where using social media as capes

For their unruly behaviors
Spreading hate instead of compassion,
Understanding that colors
Your actions into the starvation

Of the soul’s need to integrate
As society breaks those bonds
In a bid to better control the story of hate,
To the aim of breaking bonds that holds.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem: Mom, Habibti

Thank you,  administrators, for the honor and your hard work.  This poem is very close to my heart since it’s about mother’s and our fears.

Mom, Habibti

Mother, moma, mum, mama,
Who are you?
Are you just the giver of life?

Mom, madre, mami, mam, ma,
What would you do to protect your babe?
Legal or nefarious means?

Mother, oumi, mama, Haha, mà,
How do you love equally all your babe?
Do you prefer one over another? Why?

Mam, nanay, habibti, ema, mamma,
How do you empower all your babe?
Do you compare them and demean some?

Mami, mother, mom, love, Ema,
Love me for me!
Never send me away or leave me!

Mum, mother, maman, madre, Ema,
Don’t break my heart to leave,
Don’t break my heart and hate me!

My sincere appreciation for the honor bestowed on my writing.  Thank you administrators.

Hallowed Dialogue

The lion whisperer bends gently
Towards the enormous lion
Caressing his whiskers, quietly,
Softly moving slowly in a run on

Calm strokes as he murmurs
In a singsong voice, base
Undertones that grasp the lion’s roars
Incorporating them into a sotto pause

…

Honoring their Creator, believing
In a melding of minds that’s kind.

As they revere GOD’S gifts
They share a hallowed discussion
Of the importance that lifts
Their souls together into heaven’s transformation.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem,  Birth of Jesus

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

Birth of Jesus

Mary had her contractions,
Under the palm tree’s shade
Where she wished for death’s havens
To take away her struggles.
She hears a voice, deep, as though
Coming from beneath
Telling her not to worry, her breath
Will give birth
To a prophet, Issa, Jesus,
Whose conception, miraculous,
Was thought adulterous,
But, he, Issa, spoke
A suckling babe,
Another miracle,
Telling believers to believe
In GOD and His word,
Bible, Quoran, Tora, to change the world
Into one that’s compassionate,
Forgiving, loving, giving, never late
In listening, understanding that fate
Is for the living to ensure
That it’s done through His
Teachings, forsaking sins
That blacken the soul, hearts
That need light to shine bright.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem, Unity

Thank you administrators for the hard work you put in the prompts and judging our work. You’re highly appreciated 👏

Unity

How do we unite when we’re so different?
We might differ but beneath, we’ve got
The same biology, red blood, emotions whose lot

Is to find similarities to bridge
Stereotypes, opinions, religion, race, that judge
Without logic or understanding, rather pledge

Disunity, division, as diversity of aims
That ramify and highlight disparity that comes
More easily then finding commonality in times

When a unified community, humanity
Means peace, while division means war, ably
Turning a pretty penny as colizers’ ability

To exploit the subjugated through
Creating enmity where none could throw
Away their misplaced Stereotypes that bow

To the reign of weapons
Whose response is murder that dons
The crown of power flown in tons

Of decisive death combatted
Only by understanding of diversity united.

Award of Appreciation: poem, Conformity

Conformity

Education is highly priced so that
Few can achieve its height.

The higher the knowledge you try
To receive the more indoctrinated, bound not to fly

While wisdom’s harmony demands your
Calm acceptance of self and all around who pour

Their spirituality into a fervor for variety
Of life’s changing setting, requiring piety,

Humanity, compassion, empathy, and embrace
The continually altered reality with its grace

In knowing that equilibrium is a must
As the world is based on its crust

That’s unshakable in its strength, as long
As respect is exchanged so we all belong.
