IMPEDIMENT TO PEACE AND PROSPERITY

Md. Abdul Mannan yaqubi

We have tongue, brain and
         Eye sight properly,
Yet, we live in Bengal
         Like the silly.

Though we are dandy with
         Right and power,
We're controlled at an angry
          Glance of other.

We think, we are
        Tiger-like forcible,
But for disunity
          We face to fall.

We hate corruption and
         cheat cordially,
But ne'er dare to resist
         Them forcibly.

In fear of torture, we
         Protest  never,
whereas, we die more
          And more by torture.

We flatter more to
            Get the position,
Thus we make a great
            Cheat with the nation.

We keep anger and hate
            In mind hiding,
And materially choose
            The death-like living.

We express rage in fear
            In a hide-way ,
So that nobody can
            Hear it anyway.

For this, morality
            Remains absent,
And everywhere corruption
            Remains present.

Exploitation continues
             Everywhere,
And the sinners grab
             The ruling power.

People suffer most and
              Weep silently,
And judgement turns into
              Comedy only.

If such a worse situation
             Goes on,
The fire of hell will burn
             The whole nation.

So, promise for courage
             And honesty,
For the country's peace
             And prosperity.
