Significance of The Title Can You Make Out - Raichal C

The poet begins the poem with a list of questions, and the title also is a question, 'Can You Make Out'. The question is very relevant in our time and the answer should be the remedy for the troubles. He says we can not identify the caste of the blood by the smell. We can not see any creed in the shattered pieces of bread during a riot. We can not see a race or religion in the blood stained clothes after a calamity. But when we see the tears of a mother who is helpless and worries about the daughter who will never return, what will be our emotion and feeling. It will not be the thought of any caste or creed. Always we can see the victims are the common man who is struggling for their daily bread. We always see the pathetic reality of the wounded children who were suppose to be with their books and toys. At the end, the poet want us to light the lamp for peace. He want us not to see any religion in blood and tears. He blaims the meaningless, arguments of the society and urge us to make out a new vision. We can make out a peaceful future.
