Sight

Sight
by JSM

I see what people don't see
The future lies in front of me
I see what I want to be
It is brighter than I ever see

I don't see what people see
All of sudden, it seems blurry
The blindness take over the dream of me
It is darker than I ever see

Greed VS. Hunger

Greed VS. Hunger
by JSM

The greed wasting their meal

while the hunger scavenging for food

The greed has lost their good deed

while the hunger has lost their pride

The greed lived with their big obese frame

while the hunger lived with their cachectic body

When food no longer become their desire

not their needs

When the hunger become world’s biggest problem

and no one give a damn about it

When the greed beats the hunger

that’s when they lost the humanity.

An Imaginary Friend

An Imaginary Friend

by Justine Soraya Morcosso

My mother tell me a bedtime story

A 3-year-old girl played

With a cute little bear doll

With a kitchen set toy

Alone, feeling lonesome

Suddenly she saw something

Blurry, like a person

Just like her, but older

She called him ‘brother’

Then they played together

She told him a lot of story

Suddenly he became her new bestie

Played with him, ate with him

She felt safe around him

He became her guardian angel

A year had passed by

People grown up, also her

She went to kindergarten

He just disappeared, all of sudden

She just forgot, like nothing happen

Sun goes up, morning come

I wake up and wonder

I had a strange dream

Figure it out it’s not only a dream

But also a memory

3-year-old me played

With a cute little bear doll

With a kitchen set toy

And my imaginary friend

Together
