The Translator: Speaking for the Speechless


Poem- The Translator: Speaking for the Speechless

Looking broken old,
She repeated passing street,
But today he beat me,
But today he left me.
For the translator,
To translate.

Looking abused old,
With a broken paw,
Limping past street,
Only to be abused again,
Taunted for the walk,
The weak ignored,
As to be normal,
Seem to be normal.
Next day,
In agony,
In mids of busy street,
Lying in pain,
Of both mind and body,
He barked repeatedly,
Please help me,
Please see me,
For the translator,
To translate,
Or for redemption.



Poet- C. Acharya

He was wondering something, as if he wanted the love, care, guidance, the joy of family. I felt so bad. I wondered if his mom was okay? The feelings of the dog can only be understood by p...

Finding Solace

Poem-Finding Solace We both talk, To each other, Night and day, Dawn and dusk, About the stars, About the mountains, About the Romeo-Juliets, In our beds, In our works, In our leisures, We found solace. Our neighbourhoods burn, The smoke comes, Still we talk, We breath in the love, For each other, Hence we found solace. POET- C. ACHARYA
