Keep Silent, Dear Poem by Sayeed Abubakar

Keep Silent, Dear

Rating: 5.0

The killers are killing--
Keep silent, dear.
With cold corpses, they are filling
The beautiful earth--Still make no sound, Dear!

Don't talk, don't cry;
Surely, they'll hear.
Keep two eyes dry;
If they come, welcome laughing, Dear.

See, the world has turned dumb
And is silently watching their killing.
It's the time to become
Stone that has no feeling.

Not the whole world has turned a blind eye! History shall condemn those for the murders of innocence. A thought provoking work!

Profound, poignant write! True, dear poet: the outlook for future of the world is gloomy… I share your views and pain. And understand that, as long as I live in this unempathetic world, my hands too are smeared with the blood…

TOP Marks for this amazingly worded poem. Years ago I saw the same: 7 generals were killed and I did not speak, I flew to the Netherlands, where peace and righteousness abide

They have not turned dumb, they only do not dare to tell, to say the TRUTH, dear Poet.
