Contest: Five Perspectives
Sponsor: Margaritas Lillico
Poem written: 090126
Red wagons, tricyles, electric trains.
Off to school exploring my brain.
Reading, writing, arithmatic each day.
But at 5, it was much ado about play.
New school, new teachers, new classes.
Honor rolls, lots of books, good grades.
15, working hard, covering all the bases.
New friends; so many different faces.
By 30, 2 kids and married for 8 years.
A time in life when fears and tears are real;
Life of dealing with mortgages and car deals.
A youth pastor, helping kids learn how to live.
When turning 50 and leaving 49 years behind,
We slowly learn to make the new step of time.
We are concerned with 401k's and retirement.
Spoken words are fine, but we want them in print.
By 70, I had resided in four different states.
I felt great, having neither head nor heart aches.
It was in 2019 when I attended my first NFL game.
Doctors, clinics, hospitals; mostly for exams.
Discrimination of human being over the years
It was an un answered question for me for all these years
I have been searching ,asking ,finding the answer
For all these years
I have found an answer to myself
Happiness is the prime key,aspect for a human being to discriminate the other..
Yes ,happiness is the key factor for discrimination
Human finds happiness in degrading others in terms of character ,in terms of culture.
Caste discrimination in india
Color discrimination in America
Country might be different but the character of human will be the same ,The gene behaviour is the same ,human being happiness lies in discriminating the others..human gene never likes equality .
The adenine thymine guanine cytosine likes no equality discrimination lies in the genes..
Happiness is the key for all human being who have been discriminating others over the years.
Human gene likes no equality..
human likes discrimination in reality

OVER THE YEAR
OVER THE YEARS
I took a picture of us;
Just in case I forgot.
Our smiles are everlasting;
I'm sure that means a lot.
I found an old picture of us;
Boy, how could i forget.
Our smiles nearly faded;
My heart full of regret.
They found that old picture of us;
Long after we've been covered.
Our smiles long gone by now;
Just two unknown lovers.
What will you do when I
Break down and begin to die
That lonely tear would show you
"Is this what you really are?"
What if when I would cry
It's cost me my entire life
Everything I worked for less
Means than I'm the only one
Who ever truly cared enough to
cut his own wrists and bleed for
the loss you gave me
"What has happened to you?"
My anger has not left
I'm still here and alive
And I am til I show you
"This is what i really am"
Don't you want to
Act like you're playing around
And then when I'm weak
Typically when my guard is down
You'll strike so percise
You won't skip a beat or miss a swing
of your bloody hands as they're already
KILLING ME
"You have happened to me, Love,
With my own damned hands....you've killed me"
