We think that, a poetry may not win wars, and it cannot bring back the dead after a bloody massacare. But it can calm and soothe widows and their families. It can serve as a painful yet reminder of the crime. Neither poetry nor the arts can claim responsibility for a nation’s rise to power. Poem can, at the very least, shed light on our inner state and illuminate the condition of those around us. In this way, poetry has the power to guide us to a more sensible and perceptive world.
