If Only Flowers Spoke Poem by indira babbellapati
If Only Flowers Spoke
if only flowers spoke
wouldn't each petal
flow as a precious tear
on our cheeks?
if only flowers spoke
won't we hang our heads
in shame for the savage act
in normal parlance, a rape?
if only flowers spoke
will we ever lay our hand
on them even to offer
to the dumb gods?
we go on
for flowers are silent
and so are gods
and we, insensitive!
Beautiful symbolical poem. I like its composition and its meaningful message. I enjoyed reading it. ~Besa
I think that the flowers may be happy for they are kept in the air conditioned room or in a house or in a place of worship or simply on the heads of women and they may enjoy their life looking at people, who are looking at them enviously...
Yeah Hon'ble Poet Ma'am...Like all your poems it is very deep....dumb flowers are 'made dumb'...they feel every thing...so God too....enjoyed very much...thanks for sharing ~ tenner ~ regards ~ niv
