See what a kind of matters...!
By Imdadul Islam
India


As if the sweet-scented flowers are now bemused,
They can't decorate the branches.
But maneuver of the scentless flowers is quite eye-catching.
In fact, the meditation and devoir of this era are different.
It's not enough to have only one's own beauty,
And not enough their previous glory as well.
Now fragrance has to reach his loved ones a little.
Otherwise, how can they appreciate the real fragrance?
In a crowd of fake stars the bright ones are now quite faint.
Perhaps their value should never be dishonoured.

But the waves of the rivers of this epoch are exactly opposite.
The malodour rotted things of sewage now brag,
They show themselves to be full of aroma and fragrance.
Even the bees can't catch their tricks,
And they fly around them.
We can't realise it!
Only think what a kind of matters it is!
Only think and be befuddled!
Oh! Count the days when the illusion of the bee clan is broken,
And manipulation of the fake flowers is broken down.
