Life Poems
Life is a gift we must all cherish forever. It teaches us great lessons. Life is something we must enjoy. Living is an extremely important experience. We bask in every moment whether good or bad. It is the fiber that binds us all together as human beings.
Today, I have written some poetry on the subject. Please, feel free to like or comment on my work in the section below. As always, I look forward to hearing from you.
My first Poem
My first poem was inspired by Langston Hughes poem The Negro Speaks of Rivers. I wrote this poem about 10 years ago.
Rivers
I have known rivers as deep as a opened wound
I have known rivers which flow like blood through the month of June
These rivers tell stories both old and new
They speak wisdom with truth
Rivers have shaped my conscious mind
I use rivers to cross boundaries time after time
I swim deep in these rivers until I have
reached the Congo
Africa's great city under the sun
These rivers reveal history undone
Rivers are a testament of the
human spirit
Live in these rivers until you
have beaten all the odds.
Changes
Switching out the old with the new
Putting creativity to good use
Adapting to the unknown
Learning how to make it
out here on your own
Changes
We all have to face it
Challenge and prepare yourself
for the unexpected
Changes
If life could boogie
If life could boogie
It would know no end
And man would know no sin
Life would sing like whitney
And dream like Disney
To the tune of yes we can
Obama's presidential stance
If life could boogie
Peer Pressure
We use to be everything in brilliant harmony
Now our personalities clash with the fall
of destiny
We are unlikely enemies pressured to
the brink of collapse
Finding it hard to choose which road
to take in this path called life.
Teen-aged years defined
We stand alone
between us is a alabaster white
wall of hope
Peer Pressure
