Poetry Talk

Thank you so much Fahad Khalique, for sharing this very powerfully imagined poem.  I have noticed some grammatical errors and also some spelling errors but, the poem gets its message across.  I can feel the passion and the need to speak your truth. 

I very much like the stanza below – you make some very distinct and emotional statements and I would like to just offer a few suggestions on how I think the stanza (and the poem) might benefit from a bit of editing.  See my suggestions in parenthesis below:

Remember, this is a post-truth era (I would remove the comma and just say – “Remember this ‘the’ post-truth era…”)
Where lie lies on the tongue of justice (Where lies lie on the tongue of justice – I love this line!!!)
And truth suffocates into the hands of lady justice (I might just say that “truth suffocates” and not use lady justice or justice again.)
Sympathy and forgiveness find no shelter (I would remove the “and” – sympathy forgiveness find no shelter…)
Peace and harmony are extinct (You might want to say “Peace and harmony ‘go’ extinct”)

I think you should be very proud of the passion, purpose, and poetic technique that you have put into this poem.  Thank you so much for sharing with me, Susan
