"Shine Luna Shine"

A Poem by Ovi-Odiete

This is a poem that bares it all, of deep rooted emotions. To all who have been relegated and downgraded, a new way of approach to become visible and radiant to all that wants them down.

Shine Luna Shine
Shine
Shine off the years of
Agony,
Through those bars of rage
And painful plagues
Shine to the modern world,
And
Tell it to heavens gate
Shine Luna Shine
Shine
Did they break you?
Or raped you a thousand times?
Didn't they kill you?
And make you a modern lie?
Shine Luna Shine
Shine
Shine off the evil deeds
That made you a laughing stock,
Shine off those evil words,
They told you at teenage age
Shine
Shine off the hatred
And make them roaming wretched,
Shine Luna Shine
Shine
Make them wonder
And
Ponder
Shine Luna Shine
Make them a whirling wind,
Give them nights of terror
Soar and leap like an ocean,
Swallow them deep
Take them all
As you Shine Forth
Still;
Shine Luna Shine,
Shine.

Dear Ovi-Odiete,

You've bared your soul, here. A cry. A cry of desperation. A triumphant and defiant cry:

Shine Luna Shine
Shine.

So powerful. And powerful in its repetition. I feel it, as do your other readers.

Such desperation at the indignities of life, and an indifferent and uncaring world. No, it is worse than that. It is a hostile, mean-hearted world. A world that relishes harm and indignities. The more disgrace and pain the better.

Yes. It can be like that. But you have the solution in "Shine Luna Shine". You have the needed degree of defiance and inner strength. This comes through in your write. So I can only echo my hopes and encouragement, and say" "Shine Luna Shine!"

A powerful write that was greatly enjoyed.

Best regards,

Rick

Very nice flow of words and thoughts leading to the good ending.
"Make them a whirling wind,
Give them nights of terror
Soar and leap like an ocean,
Swallow them deep
Take them all
As you Shine Forth "
Hard to do, but we must. We must go forward with positive view and hope held. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
