Friend,
You said:
‘Scribbling black letters
On a white sheet
Convey not
Eloquent messages.’
Letters, blue, black, yellow,
Red or green
All convey messages,
images.
Forget thee not.
In the beginning was word,
Present,
Continuation of the past,
Future
continuation of the present
each not stands apart
independent of each other
interdependent all.
Forget thee not.
Words like pictures,
eloquent in their own way,
remember
moving images on screen
be them of news value,
entertainment value,
or informative.
In the beginning was word
Forget thee not.
Like an old emaciated cow
Being traded
Or sold to an abattoir
after squeezing her essence.
Our mother
On getting old
Helpless and sick
Being
kicked outside
the home,
leaving in the lurch,
can we ever imagine about it
even in our wildest of dreams?
Friend,
Forget thee not,
Eloquent,
word and picture
both important
in their own way.
