Five Lines Poem by Nazim Hikmet

Five Lines

Rating: 3.7


To overcome lies in the heart, in the streets, in the books
from the lullabies of the mothers
to the news report that the speaker reads,
understanding, my love, what a great joy it is,
to understand what is gone and what is on the way.

Some poems manage to talk about truths without sounding pedantic - - this truth reads in a very poetic way.
