I Turned To Saline Poem by Aftab Alam

I Turned To Saline

Rating: 5.0


I was the symbol of truth
Covered with beauty
Top to bottom
When came on this earth

As I grew
Evil I drew
Sweetness within me
Turned to saline

Knew not
When I became
Salty Ocean deep
From the brook

I turned to saline....

bhai dost, a very interesting symbols have been arrange in such manner that the storyline flow like a smooth river. in my Malay culture value, saline/salt symbolises maturity and more experience. the phrase would be, He has eaten more salt than the rest of us, simply means he has more life experience than all of us... :) thank you for sharing this piece. :)
