Thanks God I Am Deaf
61Just a poem
No, I am not a deaf. I don't want to be. I am only 22 years old. But if I was a deaf, if I was 70 years old this is what I would think. Have a read; I hope you will like it.
Thanks God I Am Deaf
Thanks Gods: I am deaf, I can't hear
I didn't heard the bomb blasts, the noise of war,
Scream of the dying people, the roar of the blood hunters.
Thanks God: I am deaf, I can't hear
I didn't listen what the raper told my mother,
The screaming two lacks raped sister,
The death pain of three million freedom fighter in our Liberation War against the Pakistani oppressor.
Thanks Gods: I am deaf, I can't hear
I can't hear the people crying for food, dying for water,
The sorry voice of the homeless people: searching for shelter.
Thanks Gods: I am deaf, I can't hear
Only thing I repent: why wasn't I a blind, I can't bear the decline of mankind.
The only thing I say in prayer,
"I want to get back my ability to hear, where people love each other
Where children are born in a beautiful world: free from war."

In poetics, you've choosen a really apt way to communicate, I think, saleheensblog. In my experience, poetry is often made up of concepts condensed into very few words. Some of the "filler" words like the ones you might be having troubles with in conversational English may not limit what you will convey with your poetry. So far, I haven't seen a lot of limits - I just posted at a different, poetic hub of yours. Thanks for sharing!
thnx for the compliment, but very often I don't really find the words or right expression and very often give up writing poem or story. I can't turn my feeling into a strong writing.
From reading some posts of yours in the forums, I understood that English is not your first language, saleheensblog, so when I arrived on this hub, I was very impressed that language has been no barrier with your content here. *thumsup*
I always believe a real powerful writer makes the audience a part of the writing as it was happening before his/her eyes. I try doing my best, bust because of my poor English i can't really do. I am glad that still it could make you imagine the scenarios.
Thank mythbuster .
I have really enjoyed your messages here, saleheensblog. Your writing comes across with impressive imagery. I had to pause often to picture in my mind what you've written about, imagine a scenario, etc. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
thnx for visiting, glad to know that it touched you.
Thanks for checking out my song. Your poem is very visual and moving. Keep writing!
thnx for reading and it was a great pleasure that you appropriated my effort.
Sometimes deafness would be a relief, as this poem points out!
Thanks for this.
