A humourous, fun poem on emojis, by Mitali, exclusively for Different Truths.

There must have been fat emoji-like
people in Guernica
left unpainted by Picasso.
In every story painted or written,
 
something remains unsaid.
The billions, who hope for
the uncommonality of fame
remain unrecorded, unsung,
 
out of the frame, the outliers
who never quite made the cut.
Wealth woven into strands of life
draws comfort, even notoriety, if
 
managed with skill in the guise of
serving the human race. While
cars without men and Mars
without mer — the oceans are all
 
dry you know with unfound skeletons
buried in red dust — zoom into horizon,
millions of unnamed emojis hop
on mobiles searching for their own utopias.
 
*mer – French for sea
