Here's a poem by Derek Mahon, titled Everything is Going to be Alright, which floats as smoothly as the clouds in the sky. It shines like the Sun, brightening everything up with hope and tranquillity, without glossing over the pains of life. 

Here is a poem by Maya Angelou, which gives us hope and courage to rise above oppression. The poem celebrates the dignity and self-respect and sparks the need to thrive, in us.  No matter how much someone is humiliated by society, one should look in the face of abuse with aplomb and remember that everyone is beautiful and worthy.
