Taliban! For a long time
It
had the better of me this word,
I
could only think of terror and crime
When
it appeared in my world;
Of
it, the more I heard and saw
It
costumed as the truth, without any flaw
It
played its role on stage
For
years consumed horror and bloodshed
Until
I went to the dais, without a borrowed mirror
And
looked at the word I caused pain, freed it from my obstinate cage
I
will change its mask; I will change its dress
I
will paint it afresh with a complete new face
Some
will witness in it for sure some sense
The
word now speaks to me of tolerance
Of
acceptance, love, intelligence
Of
brotherhood, affluence and newness
Of
nothing else, of nothing else
I
have changed it completely
And
with it will change my reality
O
what a beautiful word this is
It
holds everything I need
How
did I overlook, how did I miss
The
word is kind indeed.
Words have a deep impact on our thoughts. In fact,
we are nothing but words! Thoughts give rise to feelings, feelings to actions,
actions to habits. Habits make our personality which in turn becomes our
destiny. In view of this, the poem tries to change our destiny by changing the
thought of a particular word that's troubling our world.
