youth – Poetry for Change

Gold Certificate for my poem, Taking Initiative

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Taking Initiative

The youth of today have proven
Their strength, Fortitude, and given
Up freedom to take a stand against
Oppressors, murders, genocide creators post

Their dominion, ‘victimhood’ on news
That’s twisted to empower their views
Knowing that in this age of tech
Even children have the ability to peck

Into the ocean of lies where grains
Of truths are shiny diamonds that pains
The oppressor’s hold over ignorance
That’s being swept away in a prance

By the creative youths who’ve shared
Their findings unhindered
By the punishment that governments
Hold over them, deportation, prison, jobless …

Review for my double acrostic poem, BELLY LAUGHS POP

Thank you both for your critique. Your support is highly appreciated.

BELLY LAUGHS POP
(Double Accrostic)

Bellow, bleat, blather, blow, bloB,
Every laugh’s absurdity is in somE
Lanky’s lair making him squirm and waiL
Laughing while his belly will lolL …
Yelling, chortling, snickers all gigglY.

Lively tunes rhythmically lulL
As you take a breath and rise, A
Universal communication in perdU
Glorying in its transience that belonG
Here to help you revere each laugH
Simply to make you feel younger, and haS

Princely returns, for you to droP
Over reality into a world where chortling’s toO
Powerful to be beat by a slumP.
