Two Poems from our Inspirational Poems, Motivational Poetry Collection

 
 
HALF A WORLD AWAY
   
Author: David Bell
   
Poem:
HALF A WORLD AWAY
   
  Half a world away
from this the quiet life I've known
I stare in disbelief
at the horrors I've been shown

The bullet shattered walls of clay
that stretch across this barren land
portray the homes of Afghan children
who's future drifts upon the sand

A country wrought with years of war
has left its mark within the dust
that blows across this war torn land
of a people lost in time and trust

We stand as guardians to their future
that's been buried in the past
to help them rise out of the dust
and build a land to last

And yet the threat is very real
from those who'd steal their will
to turn them back a thousand years
and hold them captive still

Half a world away
will never seem the same
when memories of this land and time
come flooding back again.

Afghanistan, 2004

Hourglass
   
Author: Joyce Catain
   
Poem: Hourglass
   





Life as we knew is uncomplicated
Free-lancer let us glide!
We opt to dance with the beat we like
And dumped that old rubbish horn
Life as we knew is a joke
Not to take seriously
Gladly we find comfort with peers
Thought to feel its glory forever
Simplicity baffles us, Preponderance hanker
To be in the field of Commendable
Odds passed by expeditiously unnoticed
Think of it for once
Make a query of the forthcoming
Everyone has an agenda
Steel yourself with fervor
For there will be twinge
This earth we are standing on
Never bequeath assurance of eternity
Our fate swerved unforeseen
Let us face it then with lucidity
So when landed on the wrong lane
No more jokes my dear
If you have not realized it hitherto
Life as it knows itself is subsistence
