Efren Petalver Carranza Poems

To be laughed at, ridiculed or mocked,
to be disdained and or to be liked,
believed, and to be praised,
we own ourselves.
...

When wings of birds can no longer spread
To fly high to their greatest flights
May differ an old man who can hardly head
Up and down the stairs with all his plights
...

Please let your brevity light open wide
And help those ten fingers do his math
He's a digit off to divide
...

It’s…..
Like a group of words
In mythical poem
When it’s hummed
...

As I fiddled her words from the start
Her intellectual voice cried out loud
That tore my heart and fall apart
For this little town to make us proud
...

[To my Father, I Love You]

Under the heat of the sun or heavy rain,
I watched you plow and toil the ground,
...

I need no label, tag, or some kind of tattoo
Engraved on my skin
Just call me friend or best as I prefer
To carry you on to our journey
...

Once said: [never I stoop to your level,
For I'm not wrong nor I committed one;
Neither to vow nor do I unravel]
"A heart of stone is always heart of stone."
...

Every action there's an effort;
Every execution there's a result.
We fail or succeed, at least we tried,
For what we gain from learning
...
