The Land I Love Poem by Pranab K Chakraborty

Nothing more
Expected from
You my Land
Just a free space
To move freely
Mixing with countrymen
Of different cast,
Creed and religion

Nothing more
Expected from
You my Mother land
Healthy air
To breath freely
And the rest
Of my livelihood
Will acquire with my labor

From childhood
Very much we proud of
Thinking you my country
A land of rich cultural heritage
Which inherited by birth

But this time
Just this present time
Dictates us to hate people
By religion
Dictates to think
As religion-blended ruler
Thinks

A shame we bear silently
A shame we feel
When the hell is being practiced
To erase the liberal thinking
From thinkers who believe
In humanity

It's undoubtedly
Political criminalism
By the name of religious community
Which already engulfed
Greater part of the world
By other religious fanatics

In this juncture
As an individual
Feeling much frustrated
Since
Culture when raped
By ignorant power-pillars
What the necessity of nourishing
Civilization
Which yet known as
Human civilization

The land
Whom I believed
As best in the universe
Where I dreamed to die peacefully
Now threats us
If you protest the brutal invasion
Will be stamped as the agent of
Foreign country of other religion

Shame!
Shame!
Shame!
