Interpreter


Leaders talk back and forth in their lingos. 

The interpreter stands by translating. 

The future of the world is mapped and coursed

as people around live in hope- waiting. 

But somehow the interpreter blunders. 

Exchange of dialogues turns ambiguous. 

People now stand stupefied in wonder,

and the curious  become furious. 

Unaware that the language was twisted-

the chaos these leaders fail to fathom. 

Toil is wasted for the time invested.

The peace-talks become a meaningless hum. 

Was this an error or just theatre?

The interpreter becomes the scripter.
