Stones Speak?: Poetic Arguments

By Mr Sagar Singh

"In today's world almost anything can be bought if you just have money enough," said Martha. "And contacts, people in the know: you know what I mean." Adam laughed. "That's only in storybooks. How would you, if you wanted to make a nuke, go about establishing the right contacts?" Martha was silent for a while. "Well, to begin with, I would grow a beard." That really made Adam laugh hard. "That's exactly why I would do it " shot back Martha. "But are you seriously suggesting this?" Adam tried to understand how he should react to this. You can't grow a beard because you don't have necessary hormones. You would become an outcast among family friends. And society."
"And that is exactly why I would do it. Once I am an outcast, then I can go against the popular notion of what it means to be a woman. As to losing friends, if your friends don't care about your feelings, what you want, then, they aren't true friends. It's all pretence," she said. Adam didn't know how to reply. Women with beards? "But you know that no civilized society permits that. Even if you could grow a beard, how would that help make a nuclear bomb?" said Adam.
"You see," said Martha calmly, "Those who develop nuclear bombs are just like women who grow beards They don't care anymore for what civilized society thinks, or what fair weather friends say." "But," protested Adam, "even if you don't care for society, your friends leave you because you are no more the person they knew You certainly can't call them fair weather friends Would you go so far as to say that all those terrorists are people who 'gave up' friends, fair-weather friends?"
"People who take decisions about remaining friends based on what society thinks of you are fair-weather friends," said Martha. "Because they care less about your personal feelings, and more about what are norms." "True," Adam sighed. "They care to make bombs. You aren't being true to yourself. You cared for love."
Here are some poems that make you realize how Love is so much part of us. Not making bombs.
