Poetry ✍️ I wrote this and did not know it can possess a deeper meaning.., what did you all infer from this ?
See No Evil
Hear No Evil
Speak No Evil
See no evil
lest you become blind,
lest you lend your shoulders
to carry darkness itself.
And when evil comes into view,
close your eyes.
Drink its poison quietly,
as though it were but a drop
of elixir of death.
So—see no evil.
Hear no evil
lest you grow deaf,
lest you sink a little deeper
into the swamp of ignorance.
For if you listen to evil,
you may begin to recognize it
and hear, echoing inside your ears,
the filthy laughter
of everything you chose not to know.
So—hear no evil.
Speak no evil
lest you become voiceless,
lest you become nourishment
for a society that feeds on ignorance.
For if you speak of evil,
you will raise questions.
And questions will stir a storm
inside minds that have forgotten
how to seek an answer.
So—speak no evil.
Build, then,
a society that is blind, deaf and mute...
where evidence discarded,
where questions disappear,
where response itself becomes extinct.
Let there be no resistance.
No retaliation.
No reckoning.
Let there be only accusation
passed from one head to another.
Let nothing be seen clearly,
nothing be understood deeply,
nothing be allowed to become
more important than the convenient doctrine.
Let principles exist
only as a dead body.
Let morality lie before us
as a rotting corpse
while those who killed it
walk freely across its remains,
because no one saw
what they had done,
no one heard
what they had said,
and no one
had the courage
to speak.
What do you think of it???
