'Pablo, no Hablo' - by Vikram Grewal 'Haraf'

'Pablo, no Hablo'

Be quiet.

Very quiet.

So quiet that you mistake silence for peace,

That you misunderstand stillness for harmony,

Vacuum for wind,

Being for living,

And your own heartbeat for the clock that ticks - 

And loves to hear its own ticking,

For which you have been asked to

Be quiet.

Very quiet.

-V.G
