Zachary Zuccaro Poems
Much emphasis is placed on knowledge and memory,
intelligence is worshipped and information is mankind's god.
Yet these too are trivial and shall turn to dust.
People cling to memories yet these too are mortal
...
Discard anxiety, sorrow, and despair,
accept that which is and was,
but strive to shape what will be
into something better.
...
The Trinity is as a flame
which is one entity
yet may be divided into multiple entities,
several flames,
...
A hydrangea grows by the pond
and sprinkles its petals over the ground.
The sparrow sings on a maple tree
...
When I am dead
and maggots have consumed my corpse.
When one hundred,
...
Do not think that any person
has true understanding of death or Heaven -
do not believe Heaven is but an empty promise
of eternal luxury and ease.
...
To become independent of the body
and free from its will and whims
its limitations and its needs.
...
Age
The baby sits in an armchair
recollecting her existence as an old man.
...
Anarchy
The rebellion ends in chaotic discord
nobody knows where to go or what to do
...
Given a fish hook and a sinker,
one may form what we find
to say the exact amplitude but not aptitude
of the solution in a coma and a sea.
...
Oh how I look, but I am easily deceived.
Because you are so well hidden in last fall's dried wrinkling leaves.
Your season is short and on its own time.
A true sign of spring but you are so very hard to find.
...
Failure and Success
There are few things as depressing
as trying your best
...
Reconciliation
Step onto a bus
to be surrounded by a soundscape
...

The Best Poem Of Zachary Zuccaro
Prejudice And Racism
Prejudice
I don't like him or her or them
because they are
white, black, Asian, European, Middle Eastern,
Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Atheist,
those narrow-minded vegetarians,
and those cruel murderers who eat meat.
Look at those geeks, and nerds, and goths.
Why would anyone want to be emo or scene?
What kind of loser likes classical music and books?
Look at those disgraces to humanity
who have tattoos and piercings.
Look at how fat she is, and how skinny he is!
You jocks and preppy girls, you think you are so good.
Obviously anyone who watches TV or drinks beer is a bum,
and don't you hate those teens always texting on their phones?
People are prejudiced
against everyone and everything,
how you look, and what you do,
whether you are young or old,
male or female, what you believe and what you don't.
And let us not forget those people
who are prejudiced against people
who are prejudiced.
Racism
The blacks
the whites
the Asians
the Indians
the Middle Easterns
the Italians
the Jews
the Mexicans
the Russians
the Chinese
the Japanese
the English
the French
the humans.
No matter where you are from
there are people who will hate you
because of your race and nationality.
You cannot control
where you are born
nor your heritage
any more
than you can control
being a human.
Yet, that does not matter
to the racists.
Why would you judge someone
on such a silly thing?
Does it really make a difference
whether you were born here or there?
Does the color of your skin
affect your mind, heart, or soul?
Do the faults of our ancestors
become our faults?
Perhaps,
perhaps race does matter.
Perhaps someone who is white
is intrinsically different
than someone who is black.
Perhaps all Asians
are different
than Europeans.
It is true,
that certain characteristics
are more common in some races than others -
stereotypes do not form without reason.
Yet even so,
even if a stereotype does apply to a race,
does that make the race good or bad?
And even if a stereotype does apply to a race,
can that stereotype be applied
to every member of the race?
Is not every single person in the world
different and unique?
Can there never be exceptions to rules?
Must you really hate people
because of where they are from
and who their parents are?
