The Tireless Machine

by Sarah

Maa works like a machine, (* Maa means mother*)
all day and all night,
never takes rest,
even for a while.

Even a machine is repaired,
it needs rest,
but you never do so,
oh dear maa.

She works in a full swing,
all day and all night,
household chores, helping hand,
all in one!

She is a complete package,
that should be praised,
but she needs no reward,
except for a smile.

Never tired, never sick,
always at work,
no demands and no rewards,
she is all time maa !

Please do write your reviews.

I’m Lost

by Hlakaniphile

Lord help me, I don’t know who I am
you see that girl with a heart of an angel has run away from me …
Last night I tried to pray but the words wouldn’t come out
Because it’s hard for me to accept my mistakes
Last night I heard the motivational speaker talking on the radio
I took my earphones and listened to music
Because I felt like he was referring to me…
I told the woman who carried me.
For nine months. I hate her.
I told a man that gave up his time to help me
Have a better life as he was just not good enough

Help me I’m lost
I tell myself everyday
I’m a better person than this
but I just can’t be that person
all I have is hate

The New Colour

by Mohammed

Imagine if there was a new colour
not a shade of red
not a shade of blue
not any colours swirled up together
instead, it will be a new colour
it will be a fusion of unimaginable elements, with trillions of dimensions
it will be rare too, in fact it will not be found on Earth!
So how do I know what it will turn out to be?
Well,
not a shade of blue
not a shade of red
not any colours swirled up together
instead it will be a new colour
Now I’m as confused as a dizzy monkey
because I cannot get a single glimpse of my new colour
and whatever colour I imagine,
it’s officially a colour already!
I guess it remains a mystery lying deep within my wildest thoughts!
at least I figured out it’s
not a shade of red
not a shade of blue
not any colours swirled up together
instead it will be a new colour…

Water For Life

by Harshit Sheth

Water for living,
Water is crying,
Respect water,
It’s dying…

Water for cooking,
Water for living,
Water for drinking,
Water for living…

No life without water,
No relief without water,
No respect of water,
Wilful neglect of water…

Water is same,
In all languages
Try to save it,
Or waste your wages…

ENGULF

THE CANDLE FLAME FLICKERS IN THE WIND
THE DARKNESS FLOWS FROM SHADOW TO SHADOW
UNTIL IT CANNOT FIND A PLACE TO DANCE
THE DARKNESS IS COMING
REACHING IN EVERY CORNER UNTIL IT CONSUMES ALL ITS PREY
AN ENDLESS HUNGER
A LOVER OF PAIN AND FAMINE
UNTIL NO LIVING ENTITY BREATHES
THE FANGS OF CREATION FABRICATING THE END
THE THREADS OF TIME UNRAVELLING
AND WHEN THE END COMES A NEW BEGINNING OF DARKNESS WILL ERUPT
FROM THE FIRES OF HELL
THE BEAST IS COMING

Learning Without a Teacher

2
by Romulus Xavier Robinson

Looking out into the world, I wonder I ponder,
angry, confused, and sad why, where is my dad?
You’re supposed to be there for love and care,
for the moments we create and share.
But life is my greatest teacher through it all,
I chose to fly rather a long fall.
I saw myself in the mirror and created a new me,
my own insecurities are nothing without me.
I can’t understand unless I see it through your eyes,
truth slips past the gate, and undermines the lies.

Broken

Broken heart
Cup shattered
Windows shut
Time standing still
Lights flickered
He’s gone
Mind wandering
Happiness found

Anchor

1
by Rachael Kurowski

I never realized how much she pulled me down.
I was drowning
she was an anchor trying to get to the lowest point in the sea
I was trying to stay at the top to breathe
no matter what I did I was always struggling.
sometimes I thought it was over
but she just got deeper.
one day I couldn’t handle it
I cut the rope
I was free
I could breathe

Herion

by Rachael Kurowski

Seeing him hurt is harder than anything,
but when you can’t help, it hurts even more.
He would lie there.
Eyes slowly closing.
No longer moving.
All I saw was his chest rise and fall.
He is my brother, of course I love him
but seeing him hurt is harder than anything,
but when you can’t help, it hurts even more

The Truth of Lies

0
by Nima

The world is built on shame and lies
people’s smiles, fake attitude and swollen pride
Hearts filled with insecure acts
and tempers risen out of deceitful facts
Broken dreams is all it gives
The truth of lies of a broken soul
Let’s unite and let us fight
or the truth of lies will eat us all
Let’s unite and let us fight
or the truth of lies will eat us all
