Certificate of Appreciation for my poem,

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

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
Within drives 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.

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,  Blue’s Castle

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Blue’s Castle

On a baby blue sky day, the castle
Enrobed in golden rays shining
Off arched windows, bright ball
Reflecting the lives, deaths that call

Out to the living, teaching wisdom
From history etched on walls,
There’s always a place and time
For all around to learn and come

To conclusions that help the living
Improve their plight by learning
From history’s lessons without any whispering
Of war or fight that has corpses lying

Out of sight. The whale statue adorning
The outer walls, inviting, spontaneous warning:
All to enter its domain, peering
Into a long gone era of traversing

Centuries of wisdom runs into
The Renaissance era of science
That delves into all that’s tangible, a foe
To faith that’s documented in books that grow

In importance, for the morals
Within are a blessing for the intelligent,
Who want to reduce their workload, calls
Out that learning from experience isn’t a falls.

Certificate of Participation for my poem,  Karma

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

Karma

All man-made laws have loopholes
That help people become fools

For not striding the narrow path
That emblazons morality in a breath

Radiating Karmic laws of wisdom:
Actions demand reactions, while calm

Patience are rewards in themselves,
As well as reducing regret that halves

Your wasted time on your perception
Of a past long gone, when the now’s convention

For living with all that’s happened before,
But focusing on your motivation to perform

Better today and tomorrow,  for noone knows
What the future holds except what we make of it that blows.

Blows away our expectations
Into the stratosphere of humble imaginations.

As we take the pose to meditate
Theses thoughts flutter on the overflowing plate

Of responsibilities, endless, sapping
Energies that need rejuvenating

As quiet solitude is a necessary boon
That settles the soul from its frantic cocoon.

Certificate of Notable Submission for my poem, Listen Wisely

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

Listen Wisely

Studies have shown that loud
Talkers are those who have lower
Self-confidence, using their voice in a crowd
Implies they’re trying to overwhelm listener

With their high pitch, while imparting
Little wisdom with gossip galore.
Speak your mind, but do it without parading
How rudely, loudly you interrupt the core

Of the flow of conversation.
What’s best is speaking wisely only,
Listen, think, then offer your opinion
Quietly imposing self-respect, carefully,

So that hearing and processing
What’s being said becomes innate,
As you’re not showing off, rather, stating
Knowledge in an acceptable tone with great

Purpose of conveying advice
That can be helpful if used wisely,
Not thrown away because it’s a piece
Spoken softly in tune with minds’ frequency.

Accolade and Review for my poem: Home of Books

Thank you, administrators, for the accolade and your hard work. Thank you for the support,  critique, and wonderful reviews

Home of Books

Sitting where books have found a home,
Home where each level is a mirror,
Mirror to an ancient exotic world,
World whose magical depiction,
Depiction of tyrants, kings, nobles,
Nobles who’ve persecuted races,
Races turned into slaves,
Slaves whose musical lyrics,
Lyrics filled with the need for freedom,
Freedom and rebellion against,

….

… ,  but,
But tries to stay steadfast to,
To traditions that hold discipline,
Discipline and ethics striving,
Striving to Revive that books,
Books are a haven,
Haven for the broken soul,
Soul that thirsts for knowledge.

Award of Appreciation for poem: Wealth of Spirit

A great honor to have been chosen for this accolade.  Thank you administrators!

Wealth of Spirit

Money comes and goes,
Wealth, horded, loses its value,
But strength of character throws
Its power behind the breadth you

Wish to achieve, simply by staying
True to your upbringing’s teaching,
In which the force of discipline resounds
In actions reflecting all that bonds:

Faith, compassion, behavior,
Wisdom, and spiritual striver
Who wish enlightenment as a converter
Of ethics that need discipline as a recorder.

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.
