If it wasn't for poetry

If it wasn't for poetry
How would we, secret agents,
Communicate without blundering
By not letting our thoughts turn into
Revelations which might cause mass panic?

If it wasn't for poetry
How would we play with colours and numbers,
With pictures and symbols
Communicating in a language only we can understand,
Demonstrated solely by the deep and honest depths
Of our eyes as we look at each other
Keeping a safe distance
Yet holding hands together with our beating hearts?

If it wasn't for poetry
We, secret agents guarding the treasures of life
Would bloom not into angels of the divine
Having as main duty,
The keepsake of the blinded humankind
Who take the blessings of life for granted
Caring not to see and to hear the universe as it sings!

This is such a resonating take on the prompt, i agree, and the way you’ve questioned throughout gets the readers engaged too, I agree how will we express in colors and symbol’s etc if it wasnt for poetry, i love the flow of this and the ending too. Powerful and profound write. BOL for the contest
