For, what is it that poetry can do?

It could make tremble a single leaf of a tree among many, and make you its master

It could let you climb on clouds while you are on the ground and are finding your stand

When your heart aches and you find pain in others

When you stumble and see others falling too

Poetry shall make you rise and see how lowly mankind lives

In poverty and in minds cave

In politics and in game of shame – it will show you how civilizations have crumbled.

And how have mankind failed to counter disasters like the World War and now Corona

Poetry can do all the talkings

Yet, explain in little ways

That we exist and our being is questioned by Nature time and again

Perhaps, poetry is the answer you choose to reply with

Empty yet louder, the voice of your self

Perhaps through poetry you want us to hear it.
