Poems from Amazing Rita
I will rise like ash from a demeaning tradition
I was cautioned as a child to sit with legs closed
I was always reminded I was a girl
'Don'...
It comes unexpectedly
And coldly snatches its victim
Is death her or him?
Creeping steadily
And plucking both ripe and unripe humans...
I stood with mouth agape
And hands akimbo
As I watched my nation suffer rape
Playing politics like Ronaldo
It was the year 2019
When...
See how fleeting life is
yet all vital things we miss
we focus on things insignificant
fussing over things unimportant
we worry too much...
Just like yesterday I came
thinking life was just a game
I see everything now so clear
that life isn't that mere
as I feel its rough hands...
