THE CREATION
...unity was not absolute and so was truth.
In the beginning, poetry created letters. But it was meaningless and empty. It was just random curves and lines. And the world was dark and dull, still. And so poetry arranged letters, gave meaning to each arrangements and words were born. So did sentences and paragraphs. Darkness and light conquered the world. And thoughts brought color to the once black and white world. Then poetry created feelings. To be shared and felt. Humans became people. People took care of words. Loved it. Became obsessed with it. Abused it. Used it not just as way to express these feelings but weapon to hurt and love others or make them think they love them. Poetry said “Let there be papers” and there was papers of different kinds. Used for the words to not directly hit its target. In the papers, books were born. So did folios, pamphlets, newspaper, etc. which influenced people. Then, beliefs were made by poetry. Which produced the society, politics, philosophies, phenomena and religions. Society labeled the people. Religions became barriers. Philosophies and phenomena hid what really is true. Politics created their own truths. Gave multiple meaning to words. Then chaos sprouts out of lies. Poetry said “Let there be the internet!” so did was. Remedy for the distance which affected understanding and communications. First aid to the diversity of people. But from this, cyber-crime has risen and social media in which millions of hoax and false truths spread every day. On the next days, people created their own worlds inside the world poetry has given us. And forever, unity was not absolute and so was truth. But poetry evolved as time passes. Always giving for the people. Now, it is our hearts, poetry needs.
