Woman Is the Main Key of Civilization by Md Ejaj Ahamed
Woman is a mother, sister,
Wife, an aunt, a grandmother.
She is human civilization
As she gives birth to sustain.
She is a combination of good books and ideal teachers.
She who is a combination of researchers
Researches of her children to rear.
Through telepathy she feels her children’s dangers.
She is as generous as the sky,
In the sky of her mind the Loving-birds fly,
She is like a tree,
Along with a man she contributes to society.
No one can block her path,
She will walk equal to a man,
She will reach the same destination as a male can,
She is more respected than a man.
River Erosion by Md Ejaj Ahamed
Many people lost their lands due to river erosion,
The river took away the memories of many people’s homeland;
She walks at her own will in the crooked path,
Being a monster she is swallowing up the bank;
How many gardens, how many houses,
How many lives, how many agricultural lands
Have gone into the black hole of her stomach
Along the path of history;
Destitute people on the canvas of memory
Draw a picture with a paintbrush of sadness,
Draw pictures of golden days,
The days of dreaming;
They seek some shelters with their sorrows of full chests,
Losing all, they seek a little logistics of surviving;
Today, sitting beside them the full moon does not smile,
Today the sun doesn’t peek on the attics of their houses .
The wind does not fan to please their bodies,
The river no longer sings,
There is only roar and roar of a lion in her throat;
The clouds shaded them from the hot noon sun
And carried their green letters to the horizon;
Today to them that cloud is gray and black;
On the mirror of the river they saw the pink hearts;
Today only see the blue hearts;
Her water was sweet
But their eyes have been salted by rainfalls of their eyes;
Today they floated
A boat, full of letters in blue envelopes of their hearts
Whose message will resonate in the sky in the air
Moment by moment;
Their yellow minds’ witnesses
Will be the sky, the earth, the air.
