Mopuru’s poem highlights the power and persistence of the written word, using metaphors to illustrate its resilience and ability to overcome attempts to silence it, exclusively for Different Truths.

It is foolish to think that alphabet can be killed.
It’s an illusion to think, that alphabet should be killed.
Can you dig sufficient graveyard to hide the alphabet?
Can you bring enough fire to burn it?
If you Hyde the alphabet in the graveyard,
An explosion of alphabet will be existed.
If the alphabet is burnt, bigger blasts will happen.
Journalist is an incarnation of soulful alphabet.
It is foolish to think that alphabet can be killed.
It’s an illusion to think that alphabet should be killed.
An alphabet is a Soulful River.
