“Don’t spend too much time sleeping. The warmer the blanket, The colder the future.”
DEAR DAD
On the streets
You toiled,
Making your hands pain
To gain
Your sweat
Is my sweet,
Though bitter,
I say it’s better
Than butter
Everyday,
The sun sets on your head
And the coldness at night
End at you feet
You worked to see me healthy
Even now that you’re not wealthy
I heed to your words
Cause you are my world.

DO YOU KNOW?
Do you know of a place?
Where is love deserved,
Not desired?
Where destinations are fated
Not designed?
And no one wants resignation?
A place where
Humanity is not taught,
But something in our DNA?
A place that humans
Know of no hardships,
But appreciate their hardwork?
A land that has history
Written of men with blood
Being spilled on earth,
Not men killing their fellow men?
Am asking,
Do you know of a place
Where the sun is loved
Liked the moon?
Where everyone is equal,
And men not talking equality,
But do equity?
Am tired and fired,
And needs to move,
So tell me quick!

Letters From Afar 💌
Dear Young Girl,
I am writing to you today to remind you of your inner strength and resilience. Life can be tough, and there may be times when you feel like giving up is the only option. But I want you to know that you are stronger than you think, and you have the power to overcome any obstacle.
When life gets tough, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and helpless. But remember that you are not alone. There are people who love and care about you, and who are there to support you through the tough times. Don’t be afraid to reach out for help when you need it.
It is also important to take care of yourself, both physically and emotionally. Make sure you are getting enough sleep, eating healthy foods, and engaging in physical activity. These things can help you feel better and more resilient when faced with challenges.
Another important thing to remember is that setbacks and failures are a natural part of life. Don’t let them define you or discourage you from pursuing your dreams. Instead, use them as learning opportunities and stepping stones to help you grow and develop.
When you feel like giving up, remember your goals and dreams. What is it that you want to achieve in life? What kind of person do you want to be? Hold onto these things and let them motivate you to keep going, even when things get tough.
Finally, remember that it’s okay to take a break and step back when you need to. Sometimes, the best thing you can do is take some time for yourself to rest and recharge. This can help you come back stronger and more resilient than ever.
In conclusion, life can be tough, but you are tougher. Remember to take care of yourself, reach out for help when you need it, and hold onto your goals and dreams. With your inner strength and resilience, you can overcome any obstacle that comes your way.
Stay strong and keep going,
Les June Ak. II
Childhood, We missed
Childhood, W
In the good old days,
We race,
Running the streets
With glittering chattering,
We chanted the stories of grandma,
The proverbs Grandpa told us
Are our favorite lines,
The dark part of the stories
Are our fears
We hold hands when we imagined the scariest monsters
Childhood, we missed,
How we almost kiss as kids
Is forgotten but recorded
I have recovered your favorite cover,
Of the days we were able to know the truth
Of the days to come,
Or days left, not from our childhood,
Just on the last day you left,
I couldn’t see any day better than the days we spent in dreams
When looking at each other.

In the class, my future lays.
Raised in this world,
All I have known is class
‘Cause that’s where my future lays
And all my hopes come to last
When my teacher tells me to write
In the cold mornings,
I journey the darkest Streets,
Climbed the hills,
Cross the rivers,
And travel thru the desert
To come to class
‘Cause that’s where my future lays
I trust my hands,
Believe my heart,
And know my arms
Will carry the books on my back
As my feet stands on the boots
To reach me to the class
‘Cause that’s where my future lays
I have succeeded
Because I am educated
All my needs
Are knitted
On my knees
As I pray to my God,
To open my goals.
Knowledge is success
My future is bright because
I have attended the class
As that’s where my future lays.
When Am Gone
If I kick the bucket,
Please do not lament,
For I would have correctly answered to the call of infinity,
Look for a poet, let him write one poem,
Burry me within it,
Write the poem about my journey,
let the stanzas be my coffin,
let the poetic devices be my last flowers, don’t make it too melancholy,
let the rhymes be my last memorial songs, ooooohh please do include visual imagaries for people to picture my favorite moments with my favorite people,
to those who didn’t knew me well, please just tell them i was a dreaming poet, but in my life was just a personna..
Let not my family think I’m gone forever,
Just tell them I went to find answers,
For the questions show them my diary….@lesjuneak
