Two Poems from our Inspirational Poems, Motivational Poetry Collection

 
 
INCOMPLETE COMPLETION
   
Author: Matthew Birdsall
   
Poem:
INCOMPLETE COMPLETION
   
  Empty classroom in disarray, daunting to fathom
the inherent fallacy of clean education.
Remember to reflect upon periodical, daily ruminations,
educator-corps-of-engineers rerouting unstoppable rivers.

Question whether bad grammar or poor history
drives the chaotic curriculum towards
superficial-biased-tests preempting success with prejudice.

Stand up. Deliver an anti-heroic speech to disheveled desks
teetering on broken legs while sitting still.
Broken chairs find solace in painstaking preparation,
that failed for half, impacting concession to conformity.

Wonder about students never speaking, always understanding,
does opportunity shine when disrespect dubiously
dares manifest itself-a penumbra of meaning clanging for…

Assignments assail a desktop of decadent dreams
where A’s, B’s, C’s, and D’s understand rhyme and reason,
only a few escaping the apathy of benign inclusion.
Multimedia musings wrecking textual simplicity.

Physical relaxation inevitable, but psyche serves a higher cause,
rest always wishful for thoughts of beauty, love, unity.
Carefree never enters rooms of restless souls seeking acceptance.

Recollect the innocence of young students who know it all
waiting for chances to share in the woe of ingenuity.
Leave late lagging lethargically a straight head ready
to tackle tomorrow refreshed for cooperative hearts and minds.

DO NOT MISS
   
Author: Aimee Ashbridge
   
Poem: DO NOT MISS
   

O’ Where art thou savior of mine?
Be you a shadow, just lurking behind?

Or be you the prize straying out in front,
Awaiting a new game, thriving on the hunt

When I need you most I never can find,
The time to visit church or wait for your sign

So I sayth to myself a short little prayer,
In hopes that someday it might reach you up there

So when you look down upon this world you have made,
And watch the devil and goodness of what is yours beginning to fade

As you look in disgust at the world you have created
You see people being robbed, raped and un-elated

As you shake your head at our foolishness,
Let me remind you what not to miss

Do not miss the mother, who works everyday,
Who comes home to her children to tired to play

Do not miss the Daughter next to the hospital bed,
Who worries for her father and fears him to be dead

Do not miss the child, who is suddenly alone,
A light inside him still, just waiting to be shone

Do not miss the teacher with no food to eat,
To teach to our future, what goals they need to meet

Do not miss the stockbroker, who lives so happily,
He prays every night for those who cannot see

And do not miss the stressed, the over worked and underpaid,
Do not miss the lonely, the worried and the pained

Do not miss those who still can see thee,
For to give up on them would be a crime you see

So as you turn your back to the earth,
Try and remember those few little births

They may not have the time or energy to see you Sunday,
But in their hearts you look to see where they are going someday.
