The Other Language

Quaid-Uz-Zaman 1954 (Jamalpur)



let biology return to its health and chronology past by ;
greed and high consumes have reached to the peak,
enough and enough  has been done;
now  a recess,  an exchange that we deserve  comes the grimace;
roars of sea and howls of wind,  
burnt up beetles and turtles  upside down,
sea -shells shivering and corals torched must have stories of their's own,
a hole in the sky,
or a default in the  earth,
melting of ice and sprouting of  wildfires have theirs say.

we are blind folded but nature must not be-
with measures soft or hard,
bitter or sweet it will take its   course,
in  biology,  healing comes from within and let the clock be set right,
the little or small is beautiful;
the earth craves for its health, vigour and tranquility
let biology win and chronology past by.

(Quaid-Uz Zaman,Station Road,Jamalpur.)
