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!

The Hero, by Rabindranath Tagore

 The narrative poem" The Hero" was written by Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore. Set in a young boy's imaginations this narrative has all the necessary elements and is rich in imagery. The characters, plot, setting, theme, climax and idea are all very clearly outlined.  The setting of the poem falls within the boy's imagination. It is described to have 'spiky grass' and a 'narrow broken path'. It is also mentioned that the country is 'strange and dangerous'. The rurality of the setting is further accentuated when Tagore talks of the 'cattle' and 'wide fields'.

One by Shawnee Kellie

  The poem "One" by Shawnee Kellie is a very interesting and thought-provoking piece of writing. The poem spreads the message that it is not only a large group of people that can make a change, but one idea, one thought, one human that can help make the world a better place. 

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.
