An Ode to the Lost (For the Rohingya)

Here is an ode to those of our brother nation
The men and women of Chittagong, the men and women of Dhaka
The men and women of Sylhet and the men and women of Comilla s
Do you hear the silent voices of our cousins?
The malnourished bodies of the children of those who try
To call the quits and deny those their birth right?

The concept of jus solis, the title of the land
The title of which they must bear
Yet, their birth right is not present
The evictions of our brothers and sisters in Myanmar
How we do we stay, what voice shall we give to them

Shall we protest against this cause? We must, in order to do so
Accede to the procession of heavenly rapture
Sing, let us sing a hymn
To the silent voices of the Rohyinga
Let us consider them and for fight their rights

Do not call for quits, we must go on
Jus solis, let them have it oh Myanmar
Our neighbour, let them have their right
Act, pressure, boycott do whatever we must

To force Myanmar to consider them
As their own, they have barely done nothing
Why do you wish to support the majority
And not care about those who are your own
Do not reject them, they may be related to us
But they wish to stay in what they consider
Their motherland, we their distant kin shall support them

Fight forth, fight forth and help us, oh ye social media
Do not bear the qualms and do your job
And let us spread this message
To help our distant kin, resettle and claim

What is theirs and unite with their motherland

Casino Life, By the Lone Poet

Casino Life
 July 14th, 2011

The streets are hustling with money, bets, and power
The customers arrive and enjoy luxury at its finest at the price of their savings 
Sweat and anxiety of not achieving a gambit
Pulsed into fire fights over the atrophic gluttony for lucre
Gangs and mobs stalking in the shadows and infiltrating the crowds
Assassinating each other over debts and feuds
Powered by a search of fortune, a place to find pride and glory
Instead, a mound of apprehension where firearms are loose
Only those with valour and wits conquer the pasture of the unfortunate predecessors    
Stripped due to the debts and envy of others, the gamblers have no place to hide
Murder over reason, objections over gambling
Spilled with the indolence of vendors and languid casino owners
Heating repercussions crushing the meagre middle class gambler
Coinage and paper currency falling vainly out of the lifeless hand of a gambler
Due to the failure of striking a victory against a roulette machine
Anguished with no veracity of the gamblers’ failure
Drained and lethargic, the door is slammed with a dejected client
Stuffing the affluent with more cheap merchandise and trouble-free loot

Keep on Ranting: Nothing good will come to this abode: By the Lone Poet

Keep on ranting, the prosperity shall fall out of your hands 

The ice will shatter and inundate with the wrath of the seven sins

Losing your cool exterior because of disease does not compensate for this

Using your anger without rationality is not an excuse

The statues will be smashed due to you

Be deliberate; let your progress guide you

Do not rave at the scion for his stubbornness

Let your wrath take over your intellect, you shall crumble 

Do not let it take over, let the coolness proceed into the steam of reactor

Don’t let the bitterness take over you, plunge into the surface and 
wiggle out of the tunnel and let the sunlight embrace you

Do not let your anger vanquish you, if it does it causes chaos and depression 

Warm yourself, watch the plants grow, and let the flowers blossom

Let the sunlight be your saviour

Live your life with joy, Carpe Diem.


The moon is on the rise... Cheer yourself with a cup of tea
