Brutal

Brutal Invasion’s grip, a tale untold,Where darkness weaves its web so bold.Children’s laughter silenced, stilled,As war’s cruel hand the innocent spilled.A symphony of sorrow in disarray,The invasion’s shadow, a brutal ballet.Atrocities stain the canvas of time,Echoes of anguish in every rhyme.Women weep, their hearts torn,A tragic saga, in blood is worn.Amidst the ruins, a pleaContinue reading “Brutal”

The Beauty of Impermanence

The Beauty of Impermanence In a canvas woven wit the threads ofexistence, life unfurls its vibrant hues,each moment a brushstroke on thetapestry of time. The strokes dance, a ballet of joy and sorrow, mergingseamlessly as the masterpiece evolves. Yet, within the gallery of mortality,shadows cast by the ands of inevitabilityloom. The contrast deepens, creatingleafy images, a poignantContinue reading “The Beauty of Impermanence”

Survival’s Song

Survival’s Song On streets where hunger’s plea echoes loud,Outstretched hands, faces in the crowd.Begging for sustenance, a desperate song,A silent plea for a meal, a place to belong. In eyes that mirror life’s harsh decree,Hope flickers faint, yet resiliently.Amidst hunger’s plea, compassion’s seed may sow. Drew Frederic

Wealth

Wealth In shadows cast by fortune’s fickle hand,Where dreams are crushed on unforgiving sand,Life in indigence, a heavy burden borne,A daily struggle, weary hearts forlorn. Yet in these depths, resilience takes its root,A strength that blooms in wants pursuit.For though I have so little to possess,I find in unity, my richness, no less. Drew Frederic

It Seems To Me these people live in desperation. Desperately searching for the stage actors revelContinue reading “It Seems To Me”
