Poetry IV


They Seem to Be Happy

 

Where is my freedom?

Kill me, it’s gone

The decision we made

Turned out to be wrong

 

They turned out to be wiser

They knew all along

Now we are hearing

A lonely bird’s song

 

Our leaves are rustled easily

We are branch on a willow tree

Thought we could make it

Thought we could start

But we need our trunk

We need our heart

 

Our knees kissed the hard, stone cold ground

No one made a protest, eve a sound

Heard  a wink, heard a whisper

I looked all around

They seem to be happy

Down there on the ground

 

Where is my freedom?

Kill me, it’s gone

The decision we made

Turned out to be wrong

 

A poem based on Russia’s workers’ rebellion

...On Earth Day 

Mother Earth owns all earth and all of the sky

but not just Mother Earth, fo rthe earth is also mine

Low in the valleys and high in the mountain peaks

up and down the rivers and also swampy creeks

All of the natural things like the moon and the stars

Just not all man-made things like automobile cars

Do the Earth a favor and ride your bike to school,

 if everybody takes a car then that's a waste of fuel.

The Earth is very polluted, and destroying the O-zone layers

Factories pollute, yes the ones that use conveyors.

Mother Earth owns the animals like cows and pigs

 She owns all the plants like trees, ferns, and twigs.

 I wonder if Mr. Sun and Mother Earth are married

What about the other planets that Mr. Sun carries?

Yo, Mother Earth,

You're not the mother of my birth

 but the mother of  the ground

of which I surround around

Who owns the bees and trees

 and everywhere I sees

 so since it's Earth Day

 In April, not May

 I will turn off all my lights

at nine o'clock tonight

Ode to Bubble Gum

Bubble gum, bubble gum

In a dish?

A feeble attempt

A mockery

For how can words describe you?

 My invisible fortitude

My silent companion

My confidence at first impressions

Steadying my nerves during surprise math quizzes

Keep inviting,

 My breath…upon chance encounters.

 And when all is calm

When all is well

You are my playmate

Perfect cartwheels over my tonsils

Girth of phenomenal proportion until…

You quiet loss of patience

Keeps me forever humble.

Ode to Marvel

 Their people were once zeroes

Only to grow up to be heroes

Most of them are misunderstood

And yet they still fight for good.

However there is bad

Some might say they’ve gone mad

Many of them plan to rule humanity

Time and time again, that was proven a fantasy

The world of MARVEL is great

Tons of comic books date after date

The MARVEL universe is amazing

 It will forever continue on shining and blazing

Pain

I watch

 You scream

You cry

I’m so scared

Run , you get caught

 I cry your pain

The pouncing, slapping and punching

We cannot take it

 The pain

The disgrace

 

I’m in the middle

 You in front of me

 He’s in back

 

Smack, boom bamm

I go down

I scream no and pop

There you go, down with me

I look at you, but you don’t move

 Oh Noo more tears,

 I think she’s gone

He comes over and kicks me

Its black, I turn and there she is

Lying on an old bed

 Looking at me

 But she is dead.
