Luminosity rectify
darkest corners
in my memory
shouting sirenes
amongst the crowd
on the Ramblas
crying coffee cups
and tapaz
and future victims
and the bloody wash
shocked as we all are
myself the most
that darkest corner
in my memory
had criminal intents
on the TV news
Catalan cops shot
five living targets
dead on the spot
the enemy's killings intent
more bombings on their plan
they experienced
one greatest failure
not one exposure
none explosure
despite no explosion
there was much tension
innocent blood shed
much turmoil in my head
it occurred on friday-night
luminosity rectify
remained darkest
in the corners of my ratio
in the corners of my memory
luminous rectify,
dunno why,
I don't know why….

Despite no explosion, tension comes and such activity provokes thought. But dark corners are expelled by luminosity of the light. The reality painted in memory carries sadness and wonderfully this is expressed here. We get such news daily in newspaper and TV. An amazing poem is excellently presented is very thought provoking...10

A brilliant poem that vividly depicts a horrendous incident that shocked the core of our hearts and minds. After reading this poem, a question is left in the mind how can young people could ever entertain the idea of committing dastardly acts. Youth are the future of tomorrow. How can the next generation be secured of heinous crimes if the minds of the young people are tainted with evil spirits.

I would like to translate this poem
A very saddening reality. Sometimes even the most innocent looking kids can have an evil intent without meaning to be evils and this bring us to the state of affairs in our world today. Everyday we hear on the news and see on tv the happenings around the world and this somehow could influence the minds of those young people.
Exactly, Nudershada, so well said by your objective words, thank you for having read and understood the poem. You are one of a kind!
