Elizabeth Padillo Olesen Poems

  • Teacher, Teacher
    Teacher, teacher, teacher, teach me now
  • Between The Rich And The Poor
    Who draws the gap between people? They call them rich, they call them poor The rich squander in wealth and abundance The poor wonder what to eat next time.
  • Tears And The Lillies
    Tears in the valleys water the lillies. They are salty. They are not so sweet to taste.
  • The Power Of Words
    They can be written spoken, whispered, hidden, forbidden, remembered,
  • A Mother
    How can a mother forget her child, the child who is conceived nine months in the womb the child that is cradled at daytime, night time until dawn?
  • The Wind
    Who has seen the wind? Not me, not you, not them can see the wind even those with eyes as big as balls.
  • Brother Roger Of Taize
    A humble and fragile man with a great heart
  • A Good Life
    A good life is a song when melodies are sung by laughters and smiles.
  • Terrorism, Her Name
  • The Sky, Our Blanket
    The sky, our blanket, puts us to sleep, drowns our eyes with darkness
  • Think About It
    Think if all were healthy and no one felt so unhappy. Think if all were in perfect form and no one else look malformed.
  • Easy Life?
    Is there such an easy life? Each moment calls one to decide: To rise up or to sleep To work or to report sick
  • Powerful Hurricane Sandy
    Sandy gathered strength from rivers and seas flooding homes, fields, markets and subways.
  • We Cry For Food And They Give Us Bullets
    Food! Food! Food! It is all that we need It is all that we need to calm down our spirits!
