Conversation Between Two Dead Bodies Poem by Md. Ziaul Haque

Conversation Between Two Dead Bodies



The earth has eaten greedily,
Two corpses lying alongside,
The moment the footsteps have died away,
The souls have returned like a resonance to each body.

What is your name?
Asks one,
I can scarcely remember if truth be told,
Retorted the questioner, "What a shame! "

What about you?
Let me know of your tale,
If you do not mind,
Your remarks I anticipate would be true.

Alas! I endeavoured my best but could not flee,
I was burnt alive at the end of the day,
By my companion who was and still is a hyena,
Gifted me a hell making me suffer for dowry.

O my God! How vicious!
Well, quite sure I am that he will tie the knot,
Yet again in a little while,
And the gluttony for dowry SHALL be continuous.
