Lesson Poems
Beyond the Past
by Aloo Denish Obiero
The past is a lesson, not a prison,
The past is a mentor, not a captor.
The past is a tale, not a jail,

Life and Death
by Bhaskaranand Jha Bhaskar

Refrains of happy, healthy breath;

Putting our patience to a hard test;
Filled with awe and dismay
We overcome it but beat our chest.

Yet with or even without
a touch of windy time
only those in green are
freely on a fluttering spree.
