I Nodded Without A Word Poem by Abdul Basit Ismail

She bark aloud at the feeble young boy
Living in dishevelled cottage
No means of shelter assured
Rags worn day-in day-out
A young mother with no experience nurturing a baby
Unpleasantly appear for breast
Let alone she had any breast milk
I nodded without a word


Woman calling -out pedestrians
Tomato! tomato! she proclaim
Saliva drought without any single sale
She reached home exhausted and worried
But he won't let her
He wants to carryout his responsibility
I nodded without a word



There is hope, there is hope
Tie up the pain
Loose up the shame
Get over it again
Let it flow in your vein
Burn the rage
Let go the hate
Spit good words
Turn your eyes around, You ain't the only one
