For The Unsung Heroes
Nationals you are the same
Whatever nation you relate to
You're caught up in the old game
Of some national breakthrough
The most independent sources
Tell you what you need to learn
Privileged with self-importance
You count every cent you earn
Tell me propaganda stories
Tired generalizations
Pose a show-off with no worries
Though you are a worried nation
That’s your special way to go
Just

Song unsung
There is a piece I've longed to share,
which, up 'til now, I wouldn't dare,
where courage pushes fear aside
and shackles up my foolish pride...
To put to words, as much for me,
affection in simplicity,
and say those things I wished I could...
that chance may now be gone for good.
I near succumbed to COVID's wrath;
now, barricades deny

An Altruist Unsung
She lived beside the old temple that has stood
For years on the rocky bank of the silent river
Flowing all through the lining greenery cover ,
The woods and the arable land rich and good ;
Years ago she was the landlady ruler, across
The several hamlets, who doled

THE UNSUNG SONG
Abandoned where aleatory fates immerse,
Exiled in the Whirlpool of Death we face,
Transcending a vanishing star's lost grace,
Leaving sanguine possibilities, a Time we curse,
Mirroring a microcosm of history in verse.
Perhaps in reaction, or rebellion, a world is born:
A world mirrored, where whims hold sway,
A candle's flame, twice bright, burns half its day,
Besotting fiction’s staple, known and

UNSUNG HEROISM
THE UNSUNG HEROISM
As long as this Heroism remains Unsung,
The miserable shall die miserable,
The frustrated shall die frustrated,
The disappointed shall die disappointed,
And broken hearts shall never mend.
Genuine Effort is the Unsung Heroism.
It can grant your wishes in your wildest dreams;
But most of times, even the best of Genuine Effort fails;

The setting sun weaves a poem, blossoming unsung trochaic along the river basin
The setting sun weaves a poem,

unsung trochaic along the river basin

Sometimes it feels quite an estranged thought to realise that living is a mundane day to day thing to sustain. The welfare causes are demanding all those intricate , subtle personal delicate feelings, into a powermonger possessive expositional ownership, for no

UnSung IrReligious DisAuguration
How does it feel to you
when presidents proclaim anthro-supremacy
exclusively made
in one universal God's
straight WesternWhite monotheistic
over-Capitalized
autocratic entitlement
for a mono-polistic winner
to tax and spend against all weak
poor in spirit
vulnerable
disempowered
marginalized
despised losers?
How might Earth-dissociated
patriarchal monotheism have felt
comfortable and uncomfortable
across centuries of Western
straight light-skinned male monastics
expecting historically salvific privilege?
How might this orthodox Tradition feel
to leftbrain verbally dominant

Unsung Poets And Their Poems
the llama scribbled a Limerick
the robin wrote a Rhyme
the bittern jotted a Lanterne
the toad penned an Ode
the albatross’ Alliteration
the hippo’s Haiku
the panther’s Pantoum
the cuckoo’s Clerihew
the cow came up with a Couplet
the vole fashioned a Verse
the elephant thought of an Elegy
the pig presented some Prose
these are the unsung poets
the writers of their poem

Dear Paramedics…. With this poem I admire and honour you
For the occupation you have chosen
Doing a job that so many of us just couldn’t do
You are first on the scene
Dealing with behaviours, emotions ,wounds
Raw human reality of the ultimate extreme
Absolute panic ,violence, sadness, trauma
Complete devastation of the worse kind
Horrific situations and sights etched

Unsung Heroes
The fate of morning is brewing
By the grace of their mighty brain
For their wisdom is a blessing
Even though they ache in pain
Sleepless nights are often calling
They can't refuse the call of dawn
The grace of their charm could be falling
But they must cause the seeds to spawn
Unsung heroes,

The Unsung
Bello was his name.
He was a great singer.
He sang better than some in fame
but nobody knew him.
When he played his old guitar,
all the birds would sing,
for his tunes were so bizarre;
It quenched the drought with rain.
But one day he took a voyage,
faraway, amazing grace.
The heart that lacked the courage
bade farewell to those

A Tribute To the Unsung, Self-Published and Unpublished Poets
This poem is a special homage to all Poets
Who never thought, behaved or misbehaved like puppets
Who never had a chance to write a poem
Who were killed by oppressors who couldn’t dream
Who could not express themselves freely
Who clandestinely fought for equality and liberty
Who never had a chance to sit in a classroom
Who worked hard with a
