social commentary
There's a rich history of poetry serving as social commentary, intended to inspire calls to action.
The twenties
It's fast. Really fast. I couple of years back, I was 21. Live looked great. There were plenty of opportunities before me - exchange programmes, sports programmes and plenty of friends crawling around campus. Fast forward a couple of years and life looks a little less great. Don't get me wrong, I'm still exploring and trying to thrive, but anxiety coupled with the ongoing pandemic isn't helping much. I can't help but shake of that feeling that somewhere out there the life that I was meant to live beckons.

Green
GREEN Harmony is her story. A new way and energy that I can see for me. I’ve been green-lit to carry out a new path. One that will last and not built on the fears of my past. I’m happy with the nature of things and I tend to smile a little more from the joy of little things that each day brings. Now I’m truly open to prosperity, nothing to do with everyone else, but more so to do with me. I’ll take no part in the envy of others because that will get way too heavy, especially on the soul. Balance is key. It brings back a sense of hope in me that I thought I wouldn’t get to see. I am able to bring back safety to me. Now I’ll get back to cleansing my energy. No judgement or ill intentions surrounding me. A fresh start I’m grateful for. A future this time that I’m not willing to ignore because I’ve been there before. I’ve seen how destruction comes with greed. I always ask God to renew in me a new heart & spirit. I pray that’ll help me to succeed. Something is different about me. I’m Humble enough to know that whatever has been taken from me, God is replacing it with something ten times better. Finally peace & harmony the name of my new story. Let’s start here.
