POEM ANALYSIS
WORLD OF SILENCE
By Ainur Rabiyatul
Tomorrow,
Everyone will be mute,
No more words will be uttered,
Complete quietness.
Through words,
They give voice to their thoughts,
Verbalizing one’s mind,
Putting views into words.
As tall as the mountains,
Their hopes were put up,
That it’ll be puzzled out,
By other souls.
But deep down,
They knew,
Not everyone cares,
They never will.
Welcome,
To the world of stillness,
Where there’s no expressions,
Only silence.
