Poem

Poem, your poem,
My poem, our poem
Searching the truth;
Care no prosody-
Alliteration, assonance, rhymes.
Appropriate images, we search-
Haunting images, irking images
Images of blood, violence,
Voices of suppression,
Desire for Liberation....
Unconventional symbols, we hunt
Voice of howling, we felt in love.
Comedy of errors, we fire.
Changes are what we seek.
Baffle with blood and poem;
Blood, blood, blood....
Poem, poem, poem....
Poem of blood;
Blood of poem...
Burning Voices lament
Not the death of authors,
But the death of readers
Let's clear our throat and voice,
"Awake, awake, awake."
Let's wake up our people.
For our aspiration
is in the awakening of them
Poem, your poem,
My poem, our poem
Care no prosody.
Only searching the truth,
Desire for liberation.
