(30) Be a voice

Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu

******************************

I heard the sound which comes from very far

The voice was neither man nor woman

But it was a voice of pain

The words I heard were not clear and

It was neither loud nor soft

Those scattered words trying to say something to this world

If my audible sense was less than twenty hertz

I could have hear it clearly

But then what was that all about

Those thirsty words melting my heart

Was that a voice from the earth?

Was that a voice from the sky?

When I was following the direction of voice

I lost my way

But I was standing in the place of graveyard

I was scared; then again I wanted to find the truth

Suddenly, a shadow appeared in front of me

It was me, yes it was me

"Are you dumb, deaf or blind?"

"No I am perfect"

"Then why can't you stand against racism?"

"Why don't you fight for the child labor and the child rapist?"

"Where do you stand in your life?"

"Be a voice of this society and don't be an echo"
