When There Was The Cpi(M) Party In West Bengal, People Were Unable To Speak Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

When there was the CPI(M) Party in West Bengal,
There was Red terror all around,
The lips were sealed,
The voices choked
At the gun-point,
The drunkards, goons and anti-socials
As party members
Used to threat and frighten
And in the Party Offices,
The rightists used to be called
To be dispensed with,
Fined and boycotted.

When there was the CPI(M) ,
Power was into the hands
Of the Party Men and the Party Office,
With the photos of Marx, Lenin, Stalin and Mao
On the walls of the rooms
And the houses too named
Lenin Building, Marx Building, Stalin Building
And Mao Building.
