enslaved to hollows
excavated by trends
emptiness echoes
blackness within
how does one weed out greedy feeds
on ravenous desires sinful?
or out distance pressuring peers who do spin
one's world towards treacherous bends
no longer thrilling but vengeful?
will I skip happily free if traveling alone
straight paths even if sunshine should 'bling' life new
like a convertible chromed ride?
the plight of youth sadly today
as social media friends 'unfriend' or sway to defame
characters in a 'click of a mouse'
victims 'hung' lifeless
dangling in closets while lightening technology
divides family sanely housed,
dysfunction concealed until suicide reveals
what consciences grieving no longer can hide.
is this tragically where many stories eternally will end?
held in palms of cold powerful hands
your life to depend?
worthy of life,
not deserved 'cause of actions perfect
gifted
to be recalled
'righteous' and 'unrighteous'
back to learn
what a Creator desires to teach
all righteous humans
perfection to earn
so do not spurn a book ancient
divine which leads the way to life
enlightening hearts
broadening minds
'broad is the way the road to death'
but narrow and cramped
temporarily
is the way
bereft meek ones
choose their life to spend
for promised:
"You open your hand
and satisfy the desire
of every living thing."
left remaining on an earth
a just King will thoroughly cleanse
of wicked humanity
toll bells to ring symbolically
ones granted
'worthy of life'
Eternal praises
to our Grand Creator
melodiously
yes,
universally
everlastingly
in gratitude
to harmoniously sing.
first write entitled: Worthy https://allpoetry.com/poem/12129725--Worthy--by-Lucretia-Mccloud
Write a poem for contest Nostalgic Muses - Gradient
Good evening, fellow poets!~
I have returned with a new contest as the school year closes and the long-lived memories of many come to a close.
This time, I want you poets to pick one of your older writes and be inspired by it. Rewrite the piece, or write a different one based on its nature and musings. Whichever suits your fancy is eligible.
If you are wondering what I considered 'Older' writes, then I will gladly explain. The piece you choose must be within the first four pages of the 'List' tab under your profile. If you only have writes that fill one page, then pick the first poem you published on the site. If you have less than four pages worth of poems, choose a piece from the anterior third page to the first. Etcetera, etcetera...
As for rules, there are no reserves, poems submitted must be at most 140 words long, and please place the link or title of the chosen piece in your A/N. Any style is accepted, just no vulgarity or adult-oriented writes please.
Happy Writing! ~
PS: I WILL do my very best to judge this contest earlier this time...
Based upon: "For the creation was subjected to futility, not by its own will, but through the one who subjected it, on the basis of hope that the creation itself will also be set free from enslavement to corruption and have the glorious freedom of the children of God." Romans 8:20, 21; Revelation 21:1-7
