A WORLD WITHOUT POETRY

we'll cry
we'll laugh
we'll cry again. Then
we'll add emoji to text
when silence
could no longer
convey the depth of our grief.

A short but beautiful poem! 😊
Indeed, silence cannot contain our grief and we need words to express ourselves. A world without poetry would be nothing less than a soup without seasoning.
