Dear student
Please post your questions on individual threads and we will answer them as soon as possible. However, here are the answers to a few of your questions.
9. The exotic movement would be when the entire world stands still without speaking to each other. This silence would create in us the realisation that we are slowly killing ourselves and the beings around us. This silence and stillness would help us to see the destruction we are causing and will therefore allow us to think clearly for the first time. All this can be achieved, if we just stood still.
10. According to the poem, man is single handedly focussed on destroying the planet and its inhabitants. We see that with the moment of silence, fisherman would stop hurting whales, men would stop hurting themselves by collecting salt and countries would stop killing each other through wars.
11. The various wars mentioned are green wars, wars fought with gas and wars fought with fire.
Regards
