Three Experimental Poems

Oblivious

Staring at our phones

Oblivious of our surroundings

The night sky is disappearing

Stars no longer exist

Psychologically engulfing

Technology, we cannot resist

Hate Will Never Win

Darkness between the ears

Ignorance lies within

Nature sheds its tears

Hate will never win

Labels divide us

Differences, we fear

Strength unites us

That is clear

Blindness breeds hate

Colors don’t matter

Open eyes will negate

Love will climb the latter

Open arms to embrace

United beyond skin

We are all a part of the human race

Hate will never win

An Anxious Mind

Wandering aimlessly

Struck by beauty

Contemplating tenaciously

Ailed by agony

Enveloped by fear

Questioning reality

Thoughts that won’t disappear

Mental totality

Weakness and strength combined

A path paved to take

Behind the wall we must find

Seemingly impossible to break

Fight or flight, a choice one must make

A decision to determine fate

An anxious mind might break

Fueling constant self-debate
