Two Poems from our Tributes, Memorials Poetry Collection

 
 
Cowardice and ignorance
   
Author: Freyan Bhathena
   
Poem:
Cowardice and ignorance
   
  I wake up on my pillow…
Buried deep in my bed.
You wish not to be buried,
In the mountains cold and dead.

I start off my day,
Washing myself first,
Callous with water,
While you die of thirst.

And as I lay around,
Still toying with my sleep,
On full alert all day and night,
With agility you creep.

Wet with anticipation,
To destroy the enemy,
As I shape my life,
You shape history.

Or as I count the stairs to work,
And wipe sweat off my face,
You only count dead bodies,
In blood strewn across the place.

And as I write this verse,
Or people scan this page,
You double up in pain,
That I could never gauge.

We both have dreams,
And we both aspire,
But your dreams are nobler,
And you will rise higher.

So while I earn money,
Like a materialistic defect,
You will shed blood,
And then earn respect.

But if I were given a choice…
To be here or in your shoes,
Cowardice would lure me…
And martyrdom would loose

For I hate to be thinking,
Of your sacrifices like this,
And as long as I can stay blind,
Ignorance is bliss…

THE EX, HE WAS ONCE A POET
   
Author: Phoebe Gluyas
   
Poem: THE EX, HE WAS ONCE A POET
   

oh the doldrums of rational figuratism

nature verbalising itself in non-sequesters,
our hands remaining hands
no one doing anything but professional
breathing exercises whilst coming to grips
with the temporary phenomenon that is

temporary phenomenon.

measurably lost in the sorrowful permanence
of verse
perhaps it is all a grandiose premise,
some homosexual grad student stereotype
attempting to vanish under duress.

though,
I think it more a systemic gardening of
metaphors
redefined by a man with a
mediocre vocabulary and a love for
situational commerce.
Poetic Self Opinion will perhaps be an aside
well worthy of figuring into any equation
