Two Poems from our Anniversary Poetry Collection

 
 
HYMN OF REFLECTION
   
Author: Opaleke Abimbola
   
Poem:
HYMN OF REFLECTION
   
  This life that had swallowed giants,
unloved by a few angels-
the crispy saints with crumbs of grey,
found the climb a forbidden task
and so embraced its poverty song.

Then sometime our pride shall return,
not in shreds of civilization
nor in 'purdahs' of liberation
not in white gloves to prevent the palms from
blood-stain
but perhaps in crying faces.

Faces matured from torments
of poverty born by a greed to destroy our home.
























blood-stain

SOAR
   
Author: Dhruti Bhagat
   
Poem: SOAR
   

I’m soaring.
Soaring above
And beyond you
Beyond your mind
Beyond the boundaries of our world
Because I’m free
I’m free at last
Not pulled down by wants
The only thing I have with me
Are my friends
They fly with me in a heavenly place
Not pulled down by depression
Not pulled down by anything
Because we’re free
Free to roam the world ahead
Of us
Free to walk on ground beyond your mind
And so we soar
Above and beyond you
To a world of mystery
