Liberation

২৪ শে জুন, ২০১৪ সন্ধ্যা ৬:১৭

I was born in a time of liberation

Never saw blood that was shed

Only heard tales

Of brave men and women-



They fought to make this land great

For the future to behold-



Great speeches left their mark on our minds

Men of great stature died

Guns replaced promised love

History was distorted to change time

While the peasant cried

Some politicians use faith for gain

Fundamentalists dig intellectual’s grave

None there to judge acts

Politics of rape began...



I walked fields of my land

Found an innocence so kind

Something the fortunate can exploit

Please their pride,

Only a few control their fate

While they sweat

Making some great...



No literacy to open the mind

68000 villages left out of sight

Peace for the Socialite

When will Allah hear our call

There are vultures all around

Eating away flesh and eyes

Is this why three million people died?



Governments come and go

Anarchy prevails more than before

Assurances of fair play

While making past mistakes

Money key issue to buy and sell

Concrete evidence of heavenly hell

These people should be sent to jail

Or made to toil under the scorching sun

Feel the farmer’s pain,

Grow insane...



Generals of my time have taken it all

Stayed in power too long

Autocrats should rot in hell

They make everyone their slave

Whatever U say we saw it all

Democracy being turned upside down

A land of freedom should have it all

Peace and love

For the muscled common man

Who does it all

Food, shelter, jobs

Is all that they want...



Be sensuous the Ruling class

Exploitation also has a cost

I warn everyone as time will say

The poor shall rise again

Too much time is passing by

Patience is running out

No guns can stop the mass

Wounded tigers fear none–



Please don’t forget these lines I say

Use true intellect to read this poem

A poet with a broken pen

Who may never feel this way again

Don’t U think fairness

Should come back to our Lives?



No threats can oppress the thinkers mind

Because they feel pain

To see tricks of power

U play so well,



I predict your time shall soon end.



New faces will come and go

Follow,

Path taught by U

What can they do?



Don’t forgive me for writing these lines

Only serving time

A country being raped

By oppressors and oppressed

How much can she take?



Take time to ask your mind

Don’t use Islam to commit crimes

Razakar’s, Mullahs

Out there in the streets

Preaching their peace

Using religion as a shield to

Protect and destroy

Most of them don’t know the meaning of

The very things they teach.



Nobody is above the law they say

While killers walk free if they pay

This is the justice of our land

No reward for sacrifice...



These are difficult times

When will peace return?

Time and tide will go on...



Sad to sing this song

Love for this land

Made me write these words

Making me restless...



I pray to the setting sun

A poet’s wish so that an artist returns

Paint my land like S.M Sultan

Who too felt misery of the common man,



Let’s hope justice takes pride

Showing Bengali’s a newest sunlight...
