Liberation 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... https://facebook/Shamscreative?bookmark_t=page shamscreative
