Communication – A Poem by Muhammad Ajah

COMMUNICATION

By Muhammad Ajah (From his poem collection “Man in the Mirror”)

Have I read the better

Than Wordsworth of Cumberland?

The flowing ideas that prick

Blockheads, ignorance-home

And freshens savants’ anxiety to impact

Through logical strings of soft words

Words-worthy for simplicity

Wherefore can I liken the medium

Between man and knowledge

The orator in over a hundred leaves

Leaves the modern fast man

In the wilderness of tornado

Or an insane, not whole man

But a man speaking to man

Touches the soul and body

Saying, “Help! Hungry I am”

And at the full of moon

When he moves the tongue heavily

The orator bows to ignorance

Yet can there be a cut

When the jinn speak to themselves

Man to man, cat to cat

Or the bound brain of man

Claims to address the non-human

I speak not, I write not for non-man

Or I have wasted a non-living life
