IF STONES COULD SPEAK
-
Bina (India)
if stones
could speak
they’d tell us
of the beginning
of time
they’d tell us
of the millions
of years
they have
lived and lived
as testaments
to earth
born out of a mating
of minerals
and air
of heat and cold.
an alchemy
that shaped
them into a forever
muteness
like some humans
who were
born out of
flesh and blood
often love
and passion
but the alchemy
strayed
into divisions
of hate and fear
and lost
amidst the
quarries of
injustice
they became
stones~
mute stones.
