Light in the Attic

Posted on by Reena Saxena

there is another wall between you and me
Brute Power
with all its ignorance
and megalomania

I think we’ll let the wall go
and adopt some other media
Let your wisdom shine through
bite-sized content
GenZ revels in it
others get used to it
you can destroy a block
not tiny particles scattered
through the stratosphere

maybe we will reach somewhere,
we did not intend to
maybe someone will come in search
of origins
ad the book will shine through
like a light in the attic

  11. What a profound and thought-provoking piece! 🌟

    Your poem beautifully captures the tension between power and wisdom, walls and communication, the old and the new. The “wall” you describe isn’t just physical — it feels symbolic of ego, control, and misunderstanding that often separates people, generations, or even ideas. The phrase “Brute Power with all its ignorance and megalomania” is striking — it distills the arrogance of domination in just a few sharp words.
