Mystery Man

Amal Jacob 1996 (kerala)

Sonnet
He mingles with the masses, but he stands
Apart from them, for he can glimpse the truth.
He shows compassion, though he understands
The faults and fears that they would rather soothe.

He listens to their chatter, but he cares
Not for their views, for he has his own voice.
He speaks with eloquence and insight, dares
To share his vision and to make a choice.

He learns the mysteries of the cosmos,
But guards them well, for he is well aware
That some are not yet ready for the loss
Of ignorance and comfort that they share.

But he is not a passive spectator
He is the poet who anticipates
To shape the world by words that captivate.

Amal Jacob

I'm Amal Jacob, an Indian writer who has been writing with passion since I was a middle adolescent. Regrettably, the majority of my work has not been published due to a lack of support and drive. My best work is yet to come, and I returned to it in 2017. I'm now writing a unique science fiction novel. This story is in the right order thanks to my six years of research. The miracles of the planet that defy scientific explanations are connected to my story. The finest aspect of this story, which involves higher dimensions and aliens (the Anunnaki), is that it serves as a backstory for the pandemic. building a new cinematic universe and chronology. It's a lengthy story. Try to get published in five volumes. more…
