POETRY: “Be Aware”

 

By Sabiha Tafader

Being aware…

What would it be?
Why are you asking me?

The society is full of mystery

And inequality

Gun violence and capitalism still continue.

Walking around noticing nothing, as if everything is invisible

Turning our heads away, while government makes rules to suit their way

Look below the surface, the root carries
deeper length and strength

Progress may give hope to the next generation

Being aware gives a sense of understanding.

Ignorance may lead to despair —
Which may prevent us from stepping into another layer.
