The terrific silence

A Poem by Srijan Gupta

The following poem showcases my views about the contemporary scenario of politics!

Today when I come forward
To observe this terrific silence
I get confused to know that
It depicts whose presence?

When I tried hard to discover the reasons,
I got many.
But, the million dollar question is...
Out of these, is suitable any?

I begin my exploration
I know, I will surely reach my destination
You must be thinking how
When you’ll read, you would say “WOW!”

I think it’s the silence
Of children’s fight
But, if it would be
Then they would cry might!

No, I think a baby
Has got his toy broken
This had actually
Made his voice choked.

Is it the one?
Which is noticed before a storm?
Or the one
Which is experienced after a bomb?

But here in all the phases
We would find blurred faces.
Then to what does it relate?
Does someone hate?

It’s extremely very tedious
And also very serious
I think it is due to castecism
That is often followed by discrimination.

It leads to numerous ethnic conflicts
And in papers, what’s the need of such clicks?
These are just a source of anxiety
God knows, what a plethora of harm do they cause to society

Yes! I found the real reason
It may be also because of treason
The method to add beauty
Is one and only UNITY!

Let us put our hands together
So that all happiness may gather
It will be good to feel everyone’s unique presence
And ultimately succeed to break this TERRIFIC SILENCE!!!
