Fire, Fire, Crack and pop as a crier Instigating happy hollers for New Year Regretting nothing as the past is gone Ending a chapter, starting fresh With shimmers of rainbows of colors Opening a hole in the sky with glimmer Rebuking regret, wholly endorsing Hope for Kindness, grace will reign in the coming year Sentencing the fire of Regret into a closed casket.

Courage thy name is Woman! You’ve shown us your resilience In the face of adversity that can Drive strong men to their knees in case Their worries overwhelm their ferocity, Which is tempered by Her steadfastness And confidence in Her ability To nurture, when needed, cutting honesty That’s never ending in its compassion.
Her armor, mask is that of love. Her empathy lifts Her up. Her education is Her weapon, a dove, White, for its peaceful cup. She’s endured degradation, oppression, Slavery and desperation beyond Caution, She moves into dominion With Her tolerance that’s Her bond.
Bond of her heart that instigates The need for freedoms.

The soft white snow is falling Blanketing the world in peaceful Harmony, where jingles soar in joyful Solidarity, blending hopes, dreams strumming
Words of uniting families and enemies, Erasing negativity, murder with the priority Of funding hope, compassion, Humanity As we get together facing dangers in symphonies.

War Terror, murder Flow like oceans Struggling to survive mutilation Atmosphere of toxins spreading disease, Disasters hidden and shared PTSD isn’t just Trauma lived, Life

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Almost every line enjambed, lovely consistent rhyme scheme, profound themes, excellent, Malak! This powerful poem speaks so authentically of the historical struggles you reference. How long must the fight against tyranny go on? I love the ironic contrast of the last line, the cycles of shifting power never change. Perhaps we should just tend our gardens. Superb poem!! By, Linda Powers O’Dell
Thank you for the honor and your hard work.
Fiery Wall
The wall finally fell in a fiery Spell when the sorcerer’s blurry Vision couldn’t allow for it to stand, Dividing people through the hand
Of varying shades, races whose Humanity never fades or cease The opportunities to rebel Against the status quo, like the bell
That hides reality in its stout shape, Ringing loudly to oppress, gape At dissidents who wish to be seen, Accepted, not belittled, hated, a screen
Placed to limit their perception To force the acceptance of perdition While the authorities using an iron fist, Stronger than iron, lighter than carbon, a beast
That needs to feel their power Propagating, never stagnant, rather Reigning in tyranny, calculating Loss as as number, inhuman, weakling,
Unknowing that as they cast Their spell for power, another will fast Approach, create a coup, found freedom In an area filled with boredom.

Rest, relax, rebuild, relive, revive, Never rewind to the time when fighting was live, Bombarding my surroundings with burning Flames, explosions, bullets whizzing, Safety is nonexistent, danger surrounds you, Fear of a stray feud or knife are behind you Or beside, or ahead of you; never inside you. Your heart stays pure, needing to help Never stop giving and receiving hope, Or the fighting ends, You lay down your arms, Surrender to hopeleness and despair, That’s when fear reigns and overwhelms. Give your loyalty, love, hope, and optimisms Freedom to grasp your faith and expose It to the sun, let it soak its warmth in a pose Of reverence to God’s powers of prose In which your strength bursts, warming You from the inside, till its beauty sings A rainbow of colors illuminating your skin With its brilliance. Bask in its wonder, Revere its words and sleep calmly, a dreamer.

Look at that child smiling in his crib, Unbeknownst to him his importance, never glib, He speaks when his mother couldn’t Defend herself, protecting her reputation that shouldn’t
Have been in question, GOD giveth When he pleases, and His pleasure’ breath Give birth to a miracle child, carrying The sins of humanity without complaining,
His resolve, strength of belief still Affect people today, although division may kill Each other, while he preached peace, Generosity, forgiveness, compassion that never cease
To assuage the burdens, stress Of those who follow his teachings, flawless In their discipline in everlasting values That keep communities united in varied hues.
Wake us up to your harmony, a symphony Filled with blessed peace not a cacophony Of brittle minds, unbending as they face Change with a blackened heart turned to grace.
