Kick To Civilization! Poem by Alauddin Mohammad

Kick To Civilization!



O my city!
Civilized city!
Profit-sucking capitalists!

You stopped me
Everywhere…
Stopped my voice & body
My right to apply senses
Right for a petty human life…
O Photojournalists
Intellectuals, Humanists

O my Civil society
How kind you people are!
How can I unburden my unending debt to you?
For now…
This kick is the last gift from me, sweet civilization…
