Bangla Poem by Madhabi Banerjee

BANGLA :MADHABIBANERJEE
Come, sit down for a moment
Let's talk about our BANGLA
Though this BANGLA drownedin whirlpoolsagain and again
Though this BANGLA panting like wind in the sails
Though there occurred murderedand looted
Yet shall we talk about our BANGLA?
IT is not that nothing was achieved in the past
But in the years of yore.
It coveredthe sky like a shower of dust.
Every day we ready for trying to make it clean.
Axes hit our ankle
We kept climbing the step with blood.soaked feet
Our leg emergedfrom the quicksand
But how can we talk of a paradise
That was not yet in sight.
So…..come….let us proceed walking
And talk about our BANGLA.
