Dear Soldiers
MUHAMMAD MUSHFIQUR RAHMAN 1981 (Noakhali)
Where have you got rights
To train yourself for fight?
Where have you got rights
To train yourself to die for might?
Where have you got rights
To leave your mom alone?
Where have you got rights
To let your mom be torn?
Where have you got rights
To leave one's mom alone?
Where have you got rights
To let one's mom cry for lorn?
Where have you got rights
To shed one's blood?
Where have you got rights
To shed your own blood?
Where have you got rights
To tread on foreign land?
Where have you got rights
To trigger to a human lad?
Do you know a cause of war?
Do you know to pause a war?
Do you know tomorrow and future?
Do you know who you are?
About this poem
This is an anti-war poem. It keeps questioning a warring soldier about the hopelessness of a war only to keep him away from battlefield. It reminds the soldiers of the insignificance of war merely to urge him to withdraw from war at once.
