Belief Poems
and I believed them
by Bogdan Dragos
the voices said
there's nothing like
waking up deep into the night
and not hearing any voices
and I believed them
The True Winners
by Ololade Raji
Still astonished by the deceit for vanities
And surprised by the frivolities of assumed fortunes
Fortunes at the price of integrity and the cost of lives
Those who wants it all, may have all but in a twinkle, lose all
For us, we remain forlorn hitherto humble!
With notes of deceit, they bought things and time
Armed with their pernicious game without Your plans
Fervently painting with lacklustre hues, a pseudo picture of an assumed future
Yet with a sordid gloom, they expect a candescent glow

Behold
by Mahtab Bangalee
Behold; I have no fear of You
Though you are everywhere conspicuously,
though every single moment the whole universe
is not empty from Your High Excellency's presence
Behold; I have no fear of Your presence
though You are the omnipresent Almighty,
though You are a severe destroyer as well as creator,
though You are an Author of harsh punishment
as well as gracious merciful

Straighten
by Yoko Fushigina
I was led to the edge by my fate:
No way back, there's no pass ahead.
But leaving your life as a shade
Isn't something you can just accept.
So I tightened my fists and held head up straight,
And made myself simple and clear.
If I were not on brink, I'd at least hesitate;
Just this once I had no time to fear.
As a rule in such context we strech our arms,

The Forgotten Years: The Light of the Far East
by Kinsley Lee
For a long time in the Bible, we've not known his younger days,
But in many parts of the Middle East, he lived with his father.
It’s said he traveled—by ships and on foot long ways—
And once he'd grown, he journeyed farther and farther,
To the lands alone, seeking ancestral traces,
And meeting tribes and many different faces.
From Ethiopia, where the priests of Sheba's Sons, have prayed,
And past the Arabian Sea to Ganges’ towers,
He wandered plateau, veiled in myth and shade,

Behind the Veil of Religion
by Mario Odekerken
Incense rises,
not always as prayer,
but as habit.
Lips move in practiced rhythm,
echoing words
long emptied
of meaning.
The veil is beautiful.

Achieve what you believe
by Creig Burkeens
If you want something
Believe In it
Achieve it
I didn't realize that until I had wrote my first poem
I had not thought I was able to do anything until one day
I had gone through everything and couldnt do it
But...that was because I was trying to find an excuse to do something
I hadn't believed in it
I just did it without believing
Then I changed my mind

Nothing More Than a Change of Mind
by D James
You who with confidence proclaim your truths
Steadfast in opinion ever since your youth
Always know your move in the voting booth
Which way you’re going to steer
You who philosophise divine
Find ways to argue your unwavering line
Hear these words, though they aren’t mine,
‘Nothing more than a change of mind, my dear’.
You find your view and then find the facts
