We Never Want To Seize A Weapon Poem by Madhabi Banerjee

We never want to seize a weapon
We only want two handfuls of rice at the time of hunger
Wearing apparel, proper education
And a place to lay one's head in.
But when it is seen that our such demands are their
Political chessgame and chessboard and
Our wearing apparel, , our education our place of living and our hunger
Are used by them as Bishop Knight Castle and Pawn.
Then we must seize a weapon
And obviously we are then King
And we are then Queen
