Dark Stallion Poem by Siddique Mahmudur Rahman

The black horse of Attila gallops fast
Destroys the golden handle of the civilization
Ancient monuments, Cornea of the nature
Deep sigh and dialogue of the Earth tremble

Men and women live their lives under the shade of war.
The trees, shrubs, Hiroshima vulgar life
Under the prehistoric darkness there are shadows of primeval ghosts
Behind the night the night diminish, diurnal pathos
Hated breath of the Hades flare up; wreckage:
We know not when the death-like havoc will lessen
The dark horse will come to a halt looking at the face of a child
Laughter like the stripes of Giraffe- drum-beat of harsh dispute
The ocean-birds, enlighten citizen and butterfly come
floating to the Earth
In the brightened festivity of the forest.
