The main theme of the poem Keeping Quiet is Peace, Fraternity and Unity. Throughout the poem, the poet talks about destruction caused by greed and selfishness. We are destroying our environment, killing our brothers and hurting ourselves and while doing all this, we never introspect ourselves and our actions.
According to the poet, if we stop doing everything (like wars, deforestation, industrialisation, killing of animals, hurting ourselves) and instead remain still and keep silence, we will be able to feel a strange happiness. We will be able to introspect our inner self which asks us to spread love and unity instead of hate and greed.
