A Meaning For Exposition Poem by Naveed Akram

Upstairs a meaning is resounded like the heavens,
A flower raises its voice to some subjugating being,
And the human being announces its remark for all.

Downstairs the meanings of sentences are expounded
Like the railings of a bridge and the spikes of a mace,
Swing this mace as a weapon of torture that resides in us.

On the ground is an item of clothing, that we must stage
To the detriment of all others in the line of clothing and all
Manner of mariners who partake of the ancient sea's tradition.

This meaning that we see is for the belief of a hundred men
Who wear sceptically the boring brows of a thousand summers
That twinkle with rays of the sun, so that belief is installed.
