(Steemit School Poetry 100 Day Challenge: Day 86) WORD WHISPERER
Dear All,
This poem is my 86th submission.
Thank you.
WORD WHISPERER
by Ikhwanul Halim
an elegy for the written word
impelled by a grievous event
the bipolar delusions
of the ideological compass
don’t belong in the sticky sky above
strung by heat and the agate moon
lots of things have changed
silence so easily associated with oppression
holding it as a phenomenon
one that I’m sure can be had
more satisfying than facts
which isn’t an experience I’ve had
outside the walls of conclusive materials
think of this as personal

Big thank @d-pend for giving me this chance to participate in this event.
The whisper is turning to the strong voice. Political differences create conflicts that do not solve the day to day, but at least move the waters. Generate complaint.
Good social voice poetry, dear friend.
