Monika’s poem, exclusively for Different Truths, highlights the power of resistance in the face of suppression, turning pain into power and silence into a defiance symphony.
Bury the truth,
and watch a revolution rise.
Silence a poet,
and their words will reverberate through time.
Erase a dreamer’s canvas,
and see them paint the skies.
Doubt a philosopher,
and they’ll carve wisdom from uncertainty.
Shatter a mirror,
and see the reflection multiply.
Cage a bird,
and hear it sing the loudest notes of freedom.
Drown a sigh,
and it will transform into a roaring anthem.
Wound a heart,
and you'll inspire a symphony of resilience.
Cast shadows on an expanse,
and see light dance in unexpected places.
Break a seer's spirit,
and witness him rise like a phoenix from the ashes.
Test a muse,
and watch them redefine the boundaries of possibility.
