Shivani and Aishani Found Poem


The Power of A Word
By: Shivani Rangaswamy and Aishani Naga

The wall of written word with
Sentences glowing in the light,
Like magic, like beauty.
Watching the words;
She was the book thief without words.

However, the words were on their way.
Her hunger to read
Everytime she deciphered a new word
A new sentence.
Holding them like the clouds.
Wringing them like the rain.

An innate sense of power.
As she turned pages toward daylight.
The key to happiness
She was a girl,
In Nazi Germany,
How fitting that she discover the power of words.

Greatest book- the greatest book ever
Read next to flames, seething at content.
Forming fingers into a fist.
A story.
Story after story.
 Story within a story.



Terrible words
                                                                In your stories, your poems, the screens you like to watch.
Goodbye to this trash, this poison.
Like a page littered with mistakes, like garbage,
Sentences strewn,
 Words fooled her.


Terrible words
The injury of words, yes the brutality of words.
Fragments of pain
Eyes blackened, cuts opened, a series of wounds.
All from words. All from Liezel’s words.
Heil Hitler. The Fuhrer looked proud.

Terrible Words
JEWISH FILTH spilling over at their edges
Giant words, pitiful words, angry words
Can no longer sustain their weight.






Words
So much good, but so much evil.
Words
Good, but, was awful, too.
Those who understood the power of words understood
How powerless a person could be without.
I have hated words and I have loved them, and I hope I have made them right.
