POETRY FOR HUMANITY<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maria Cristina Azcona<\/strong><\/p>\n

Buenos Aires, Argentina<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

So Many Women\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I think on so many women<\/p>\n

who have never known love<\/p>\n

Their happiness is ice-covered<\/p>\n

because of home – violence and war<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve learned to listen to a special sound<\/p>\n

while moon gazes to the roaming lake<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve learned to discover their plight around<\/p>\n

and also invite them to a new world<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

You need to help me in this endeavor<\/p>\n

Giving your hand to who is at your side<\/p>\n

Discovering their agony and fright<\/p>\n

Alleviating the pain in their miserable life<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ode to Prudence<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Never thoroughly praised is the prudence<\/p>\n

Distilling in our veins, her joy<\/p>\n

She knows how to keep behind the fence<\/p>\n

Tongue, feet and fantasy, they all<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

She is nurtured by peace from patience<\/p>\n

And the deep light that\u2019s our faithful guide<\/p>\n

Amen from the portion of intelligence<\/p>\n

That God gave us the day we\u2018re born<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I beg you, Lord not to be irresponsible<\/p>\n

So nobody could say that I am negligent<\/p>\n

Unconcerned, implacable or drowsy<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Make me prudent to keep an eye on my feet<\/p>\n

To make my feelings obey my will<\/p>\n

To stop my impulses while I live<\/p>\n

To live like I would be a day time being!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ode to Hope<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is not sapphire, topaz or lapis lazuli<\/p>\n

It is not a ruby-throated hummingbird<\/p>\n

doesn\u2019t hide in the Sahara neither an oasis<\/p>\n

It is not the soft fur of a cute cub<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hope is mauve and pink colors at sunset<\/p>\n

It is often an unambiguous pathway<\/p>\n

sometimes eases a back pain<\/p>\n

sometimes emerald grass under rain<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sometimes the green pines mutter its name<\/p>\n

While soul feels the winds of joy to end<\/p>\n

Hope is the future of life of all men<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Certainly it is\u00a0 trust in tomorrow morning<\/p>\n

a paradise of joyfulness\u00a0 come true<\/p>\n

The most caressed dream blue<\/p>\n

finally it is\u00a0 the sigh of a soul in love with the moon<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Peace Doves<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Like white ships we see the doves<\/p>\n

Snowy birds imploring humans<\/p>\n

To save their life missiles disarm<\/p>\n

To open paths to human love<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

They know that peace is their gift<\/p>\n

Perfumed essence they bring with joy<\/p>\n

Mysterious strength they grant to us<\/p>\n

Like humming birds that colors own<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the dark, doves are the light<\/p>\n

Their wings immersed in fresh light dew<\/p>\n

Sweet two eyes to see the pain at night<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

They\u2019re messengers of a pure mystery<\/p>\n

Unique device to dissemble war<\/p>\n

They will give end to cold and injury<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n
