Redemption

Mortars flee into an ultimate hit
Setting trails of debris
People give up their right to survive
Contemplate what happens
In endless killing games
Others perceive as change...

Are u about to share grief
Are u about to feel mother’s loss
Are u angry at the limbless soldier
Are u ready to agree
It is wrong to kill
It is wrong to protect
To destroy...

Centuries pass
Customs change beliefs
Nobody is ready to forgive...

There are ones who pray to Allah
There are ones who believe in the cross.
I ask u now as time plays it’s game
How much has changed?

Massacred freedom under a blue sky
Division across mahogony tables;

Another unknown soldier dies
Another demon strikes
Another bullet spikes.

Survival's Inconsistent Sanity

In this era of forgiven time
Let’s ponder upon
Another significant clause...

Twinkle twinkle little stars
Keep wondering where you are
Blessed be the latest truth
A long gasp
Never believing in an unholy touch
Cause generations bleed on this path
Remaining grateful to only one
Surrendering to destiny
Speaking one to one...

Others give a try
Live on wild sides...

Lonely are some wicked tales
Live among the race
Uttering same songs
A kingdom foregone,

We live on...

Where is the freedom that is so cherished
Where is the air to breathe
Where is the pen that writes
Where is the light looking bright
Where is the lover who sang in the rain
Where is the memory of a special bond
Where is Sultan who drew this path
Where is kobi bhondu
She sang bideshi songs
Where is the ladder that tore me apart
Where are the notions that divides us all
Was there justice when Allah created this world?
