with teamwork,
we can carry the world
on our shoulders,
ants, or elephants

Another Mariupol

Mariupol
my heart bleeds,
lifelessness
sounds hard,
wait
you'll come back
alive, thanks to your
resilience,

I'd never ever want this
horrid scene to replay
on any stage,
so
I'd not blame one
country alone,
for if I do,
the curse in vain
will befall
again;

in another unfortunate
zone now standing tall,
there'll be another
Mariupol,

Mariupol,
will anyone question
how this happened,
who is responsible
for this,
is it one single
bad apple that had 
ruined the bar,
or are there other
stars too,
notoriously
networking a toxic
oligopoly,

if we didn't bring all
the cards to the
table, and overhauled
the reasons, then the
nefarious act to overpower
the global wherewithal
would see another
Mariupol,

Mariupol
is a reality, the vast
diaspora of soldiers,
people, refugees
die, flee, and cry
on the real ground,
it's not an orchestrated
sinfonietta
negotiated at the opera
if at all,
scaffolding another
Mariupol,

if you asked all
the leaders of the
countries to come
on to the field
as commoners,
as residents
of the planet,
they'd willingly yield,
none would defend
their stances,
some
would throw up 
that disastrously negative
and terrifying opium,
the one that for years
had intoxicated them
in a self-defeating entente,
they'd delete the playbook,
discard the game, and
join the peoples
of the world,
weep in unison
for the departed
souls,

'they' would reappear
as 'we', on the dais
the refrain would play
on the theatre hall,
we'd all sing along, 
we don't want the
repetition of another
Mariupol

Consciousness

I cannot see
unless I close
my eyes, 

I cannot hear
unless I shut
my ears, 

I cannot know where
happiness lies
until I step inside. 

মিথ্যা-কান্ড

সারাদিন কাজ করে 

যাই ধানাই পানাই, 

শুধু 

ঠাকুরের কাছে

ঠাকুরের সাথে 

বসবার-ই কোনও 

সময় নাই, 

এ কি কান্ড ভাই

উপস্থিতি

উপস্থিতি 

ঠাকুর এখানে আছেন
এখন আছেন
কাঞ্চনজঙ্ঘার মত।

He is here
right now

circus

if i respect you,
I worship you but
do not follow you,
if i disrespect you,
I do not worship you,
but follow you,

circus of animals
and jokers.

i am insane

disinterested, disillusioned, disoriented, bemused.... not because of those unfortunate countries fighting useless battles, but generally

all troubles are created by the educated mind, insane, but true...

but I carry this burden on my shoulders... i have to say that the world is a good place.... i need to be politically correct, i have to write in good English...

insane

we have converted the world into a stage of garbage

where people still want to play, earn, learn,

and have fun,

insane

everywhere we fight with injustice,

still, we say we are proud to keep alive

the spirit of fighting, we need to fight, we need to fight, we need to fight because this is strength, this is power, insane... never ever do we say we need to love, we have kept love out of the periphery, insane

if we say we need to love it becomes a quote, either by some malai dama, or by some boutam gudhha, insane

Just born

Consider me dead. 

I am just born.
