I've dreamed a world

Hey everyone! I hope you enjoy this poem that was written by me- and another poem fanatic for an event in school- based on Utopia.

They are those that surround you,
But in the hour of need,
They will look right past you,
They are those who will recognize the pain in your eyes
But they will look away and ignore you

I’ve dreamed a world,
Where they are different
They look through your skin,
They see your personality,
And feel your emotion

I’ve dreamed a world,
Where nothing’s black or white,
They understand the kaleidoscope of colors,
 Celebrate and mourn with you.

It is the use of weapons for senseless destructions
It stems from fury and chaos
Its horrors will haunt you for a lifetime,
And tear apart the lives of millions of others



I’ve dreamed a world,
Where it’s just a memory
A stronger one,
Has taken its place

One that stems from and nurtures,
Serenity and order
One that lets the dove fly,
Rather than keeping it trapped in a cage


I’ve dreamed a world,
Where knowledge is ubiquitous,
Valued by every individual
And it makes up the elements of my world.


I’ve dreamed  a world,
To help conceal reality,
To shield me from evil,
I’ve dreamed of a world

-Poem fanatic and another friend!

A chameleon by Anton Cekhov

Hello everyone! Today I'm introducing a new series to my blog, called World Wednesday. I am not planning on posting these every week, but when I do, I will post about any piece of literature I’ve read that is set in a different culture, religion, country, state, continent, etc. It will be a window for people to share their opinions on literature that is outside of their comfort zones, and hopefully inspire them to read and learn more about other cultures. In a world that is so interconnected, it is important for us to know about other people's lives.   For this first post, I will be writing about "A Chameleon" by Anton Chekhov, a short satire set in Russia.

I cannot remember my mother by Rabindranath Tagore

 The poem has been titled " I cannot remember my mother". It attracted me for some reason, for I thought that surely, a poem couldn't be completely empty. There had to be some form of nostalgia, or memory in a poem about no remembrance.  I realized after reading it, that I was right. In fact, the poem's title can be considered an oxymoron. However, the extent to which this poem is nostalgic, the amount of tiny details in this poem, wow. But I don't suppose Tagore was a Literature Nobel Laureate for nothing. This poem has sensitized its audience to the poet's colossal loss, though the poet ,it seems,has made no effort to do so. There is nothing superfluous about his writing, and the poem seems like a true expression of his love for his mother. It talks about how his mother managed to leave her presence on everything before she passed away, and how those little memories of his,form an incomplete memory of his mother.

Coromandel Fishers by Sarojini Naidu

Hello! For this post I will be exploring another poem written by Sarojini Naidu, called "Coromandel Fishers". This poem can be taken as an allegory, for although it speaks to fishermen, it's metaphoric value speaks to the nation, and can be considered a wakening call for the people of our country. When I wrote about "In the Bazaars of Hyderabad", I mentioned that Sarojini Naidu was one of our freedom fighters, and believed greatly in the Swadeshi movement. Naidu reflects her passion for India in this poem.
