FAILURE
by Tanisha Grover

Let's talk about it,
Let's undergo through it,
Let's counterreason it,
Let's acknowledge it,

Let's not bound to it,
Let's not be scared of it,
Let's not overthink it,
Let's not allow it to demolish our dreams,

I thought
by Abasiama Udom

I thought I failed
My heart believed it
I knew I was a failure
my lips told of it
I am a failure.
Nothing remaineth

at my voice
A failure -

Oh! With What Unspeakable Anguish
by Carl Halling

Oh! With what unspeakable anguish
Do I regret the vocation
I came so close
And so oft to having
The sweet acclamation
That might have been mine.

Had I tried and failed,
That would scarcely concern me,
Yet, I squandered my resources

by Yahaya Qasim

And I eat with golden plate, spoon and knife;
My ride on Unicorns wouldn't stop the clock,

Those who know me will know me no more;

The difference
Enough to wake
The cosmos
For a midnight

Ascent Into Consciousness
by Julian Licht

Despondently, he surveys his lost kingdom
Deep in his throne high on the bluff
Daring angels, covered in wings and wheels and eyes
Dance and flutter around in sorrowful mourning

Hiding from his world, sequestered from his people
Hearkening back to the glory now gone
Humbled by the heartbreak
Hanged from the forbidden tree

Demons
by David Dulzaides

Reverberating imperfections shade the glimmer of hope,
While the smell of death dilutes the billowing smoke.

Breath after breath we choke on our own existence ,
Why do we continue this game,
What’s with this unbridled persistence?

A blessing or a curse we shall never know,
In this bias world we live in we reap what we sow.
