So Sad! Poem by Md. Ziaul Haque

A poor boy knows well,
What Pohela Boishakh is but can’t tell,
His father to buy him a colourful punjabi,
To roam around with friends in glee.

He knows among other foods, ilish fish is also eaten,
He also knows that almost empty is the kitchen!
All he does is going towards the banyan tree,
Where he keeps on crying being utterly lonely.

The poor boy doesn’t know when he’ll taste happiness,
He does hope that should come true some tiny wishes!
