REFLECTION
“In Another World” is a poem composed by Rasaq
Malik which mainly revolves around grieving of losing
friends and family. Malik used a lot of imagery in his
poem in order to clearly express that he don’t wanted a
child since he don’t want to see them suffering. Upon
understanding this, I chose this verse since it talks about
the father’s agony when seeing their children suffering.
The pain, discomfort and affliction of losing your loved
ones are unbearable.
In my visual poem I used a lot of picture of a father,
a stronghold representation of mighty wall that can be
easily teared up to pieces upon seeing his family’s demise.
