Reality Poems
Game of Power
by Md. Kausar Uddin Ahmed
Politics isn’t clean.
It’s not about truth.
It’s about timing,
Position,
And pressure.
You don’t have to like the game.
But if you don’t play it,
You’ll be played,
Used,

Word as It Is
by Ayatullah Nurjati
Words are real action
The reality is also sometimes stunned by words
Words that Absurd sometimes also have an affair with reality
Reality that plays with phenomena is sometimes not as idealistic as we think
The spirit in the equivalent word chosen as diction may be right next to the norm or ethics
The body in the heart of a word is always meaningful
The spirit that realistic in words is easily co-opted by symbols in the real world
Body of You, me and all of you resides in a name in a word that has special
meaning

Call a rock a diamond
by Author Reinvented
You can call a rock a diamond
you can polish it like glass
You can put it in a ring
And give it to that special lass
You call a rock a diamond,
but no matter what you say
A rock is still a rock and that's how it will stay.
You can find a pretty rock,
And call it a diamond in the rough

Utmost excitement
Couldn't erase my dark moments;
Gravity dragged me...
Begin the Songs of Life with the End
by Ololade Raji
I once wrote a song I could but not finish…
Whoever finishes the songs of life?
But tell me, how? when each end begins with a new life lease?
I once met a man who paints only in shades and tints
Whoever applauds the silver greyness of the cloudless skies?
But tell me, whoever shuts out the radiance of the rainbow colours?
Ijangbon boldly pushes Odumare’s last limits, but as…
We know insanity remains the smallest room in the castle of audacity

Rugged Reality
by Somali Mukherjee
An obscure panic
Haunts my days in reverie;
Gravity drags me.
Craving and Chasing
by Fidelis Peter Olowu
Mortal man! Oh mortal man!
Like a whirlwind in the Saharah
You blow and flow in every direction
Appearing to be so busy here and there
With no eternal value to show for it.
Like a hungry angry lion,
You chase every prey called opportunity
Paying no attention to this body wherein I live,
Having no time for meditation, togetherness,

Tussen tijd en betekenis
by Mario Odekerken
Het nieuwe jaar staat niet voor ons,
het beweegt al door onze keuzes,
elke seconde een kleine beslissing,
tussen herhaling en mogelijkheid,
tussen angst en aandacht.
We tellen geen dagen maar inzichten,
nemen vragen mee in plaats van beloften,
laten los wat ons niet meer vormt,
en stappen verder zonder zekerheid,

Not Money, Not Everything
by Aloo Denish Obiero
They lived in a different era, in a different area,
Not today, and never in our cities,
And so they drew a conclusion,
That money is not everything. Right.
I live in this era, in this area,
Today, and in these cities,
And behold, a thing so strange:
The newest disability is lack of money. Right.
