When poets speak

Saturday,17th April 2021

 

When poets speak with a strong voice

people have only one choice

listen to or read that is presented

the words seem sweet and remain scented

 

let the metaphors be not used

let the high ornamental words be refused

the soothing words are rushed

and the theme of peace be pushed

 

it shall be heard

all over the world

and may remain in the minds of people

who shall come forward to struggle

 

it is not necessary to have divine eyes

it is equally not important to act with visionary trial

it needs only an honest approach

to reach the hearts of people

 

the car may stand on the road

it is for the people to ride

take the vehicle to safety

and show the power of poetry
