My high school reunion:
old classmates,
old friends,
old adversaries,
old strangers
meet after decades
trying to discern
who's who,
who's lived,
who's passed,
who's disappeared...
lost youth commemorated...
survival celebrated.
He born in a hamlet
He became favorite
He healed leper(s)
He is said helper
He shed blood
For the sinfully dead
When they saw HE star they celebrated CHRISTMAS
When HE was crucified we commemorated GOOD FRIDAY
When they saw empty tomb the world celebrate EASTER
armed with lance and shield
embarks on ivory steed
approaches sanctum
nemesis sighted
embroiled in bloody battle
vicious creature slain
bestowed with honour
patron saint of a nation
commemorated

Achingly slow the way that we kissed,
enjoying the entrapment we laid in.
You commemorated this with cursive.
The soft swirl and soft hand of cursive
matched us as the paper was kissed.
Italics bold as your tongue trucked in.
It was comforting how you creeped in
with flirtation flowing in pristine cursive.
Immortality penned the way you kissed.
A love letter french kissed in cursive.
Today is D-Day, once a date
Evocative of war
When Allied troops invaded France
In 1944.
By land and sea and air, the soldiers
Stormed the Nazis’ hold
In Normandy, an operation
Sneaky, smart and bold.
Commemorated in the past,
Historically germane,
To younger folk, its meaning
Would need someone to explain.
As years go by, the stories fade
And though they might be taught,
We cannot bring to relevance
The wars and battles fought.
To commemorate Qu Yuan
The poet and politician
The Chinese has the Dumpling Festival
And the Dragon Boat Festival
In olden days a revolution is rare
And now it is difficult to commence
one too
Wars kill millions
And we only die once
Life is precious and invaluable
And people wouldn't change
Because you die
It takes centuries to change
The characters of people
A stiff moral revolution indeed
Hopeless
Whenever confronting with
Man's greed and yearn for power
