Civilization has fallen



If I’m hungry or deprived of copulation — who will take the responsibility!
Who has the answer?

In the brothel, kisses are bought at the price
There is no love,
This has been the practice since prehistoric times —such is the state?
 
Today at the market of brokers of strangulated Civilization
Abruptly the sperm of the ferocious vulture is being sold
All the justice bought with blood has been taken away!
 
Landless citizens have to get a place
With an invalid gift, Why? —
 
The greedy and tender-hearted leader of the state
Finally licks; Fishermen's fish sanctuary!
 
Patriotic farmer, poor sharecropper, day laborer,
Professional also and I – are we refugee?
 
Sir, I am neither stubborn nor dishonest
Post-colonial Bengal’s  tiger cub
Give me back my justice
Otherwise, you will be virtually lowbred;
                                 Extremely poor rider.

    We are what we do and think
    Rotten to the core, inflicting the rest of the barrel of apples !
    Seek God and his ways and you will be the winner
    Forget Him and you are the loser !
    Get a life and make it count, such words you write are trash !
