Poem - Decline of Humanity

Decline of Humanity
Dr. M. Bodrul Alam Shohag
Dhaka,  Bangladesh 


I can't write anything even when I write.
Crimes against humanity happen in front of my eyes.
I hear the screams of the victims.
I see the rise of the rogue,
I feel the helplessness of the oppressed.
These things shake my conscience.

Still I can't write anything even while writing.
Because I long for a carefree peaceful life,
So I don't want to get into trouble.
These happen before my eyes
And thus in this incident one of my neighbors got infected.
I am frightened.
They show their thumbs to the laws
Of the our peaceful country and commit demonic acts.
I look of vultures in their eyes,
They are carnivores
In the addiction of eating the raw flesh of our mother and sister, they have forgotten all their etiquettes
I see everything in silence,
Still I can't write anything even while writing.
Because I look forward to my carefree life
