Dream Selling Poem by Mohammad Mohi Uddin

Dream Selling



Capitalism introduces-
An idea of fulfillment
Buyers are impressed with fairy tales.

Theories, Equations, Terms-
Work as a miracle.
There is nothing called an unattainable dream
Everyone was born to be a hero!

They feel a thrill as the leaves against the West wind
Seeing the ornamental eye contact of Capitalists.
Priest-like behaviors-
Hide utilitarian insight of exploitation.
They were not bad in condition, and took
All ebb and flows of life as their undisputed part.

Now, they are overwhelmed with new hope
Everyone was born to be a hero!
Though stained ink of illusion is printing, in advance,
Their own Peripeteia within Peripeteia!
Fabricated lure leads to their ruin at the end of the plot.

Fate enslaved them by shaping truth
Capitalism enslaves them by selling dreams.

Motions of the earth notice a starry distance
Motions of the earth notice a starry distance!
