“A poet is a voice that speaks for the voiceless.”
What this quote means
This quote highlights the essential role of the poet as a spokesperson for those who lack a voice. The artist gives voice to the oppressed, the forgotten, those ignored by society. It reminds us that poetry is not merely aesthetic but also an act of justice and compassion. In a world where many are silenced, the poet becomes a channel for their hopes, pains, and dreams, inviting us to listen beyond the noise.
