We Defy Barriers Poem by Sathya Narayana

We Defy Barriers

Rating: 4.9


I am a doctor!
Nay! May be a miner!
Some call me a burglar
And some as scavenger

I cut open your hearts
To see exists what
In that hidden crate
I cave into your minds
I thieve into your thoughts
Be there precious jewels
Or dirty black coal
I dig out to show the world
Their true colors
And I rob you of your sleep
If you are a hypocrite
Or a crafty cat
Bare you out in street
And tell the rest
To quit your kind of trait
And lo! If you are a pious soul
I low and bow before you
Give my life in whole
As an oblation to your ideals

After all I am a poet
With a multipronged weapon
In my strong hand
I don’t mind you call it
A scalpel, a shovel
A sword or a broom
I call it a pen
Sweeping and moping clean
Dirty streets of my nation
I even dare into whole world
Every nuke and corner
And declare in valor
“Poets have no barriers”

Your poem does have that necessary poetic rhythm. The English is not perfect, but with a little help, it has possibilities.,

Dear Sathya, Thank you for your kind thoughts given my poem- 'A New World Melody'.You mention that your poem, WE DEFY BARRIERS was written with mutual inspires in mind. There continues to exist and site many a chaotic venue of which human civilization continues to disrespect and violate their own decent, peace making laws. Upon my reading your poem several times, I am insightful of the heartfelt sentiments that were inspired. You seem to address some manner of fault and relative blame of existing world conditions. Your Hearts/ your minds/ your thoughts/ your sleep/ Poets are of many a controversial mind., thoughts and sleepless unrest. Poets, writers and all whom have concern for speaking freely for Peace, need be inspired by other than what has failed for many thousands on years. There is no need to describe, point and blame. All have fault that salute to flags of greed and conquest. 'Should all of human dogmatic brain mind their own faith and not that of another, most wars will stop and not start'. On the contrary, Poets do have many barriers. Should they be forgetful, they are arrested without just litigation. However, we all must rescue Earth from the evils of 'Men', unkind. Solution for Peace is simple, Love Empathy Compassion will prevail for all. Thank you for sharing, Louie

Raise your head beyond the level of sky.Ask the himalaya to bow down.Ask the river to follow you. This is a note for the poets from me.
