Answer -
Keeping Quiet is a poem with a historic message. The poet calls upon all the people of the world to observe a short silence, to suspend all their activities, to stand still and quietly analyse what they are doing to kill themselves. The poet talks about the necessity of suspending all war industry and an attack on animals.
It will be a strange experience for the people when they become free from tension and mad rush.” They will get time to understand their neighbours and the needs of their families. But the poet is not calling for total activity. Life, after all, must go on in quiet way. Even when everything seems dead in nature, the seeds of life remain alive in the earth.
