Get Me A Pen Poem by BASAB CHAUDHURI

Get me a pen -
I will write with it
a love letter
to all of them.
No age bar,
no bar on nationality,
men, women, children
I will write to all of them.

I will write to them
who carry weapons,
I know they will read
my letter and write back.
I will write Love
and draw a bird below the word,
It will be a white pigeon
with a heart bigger than man's.

Get me a pen
I will write something more,
I will ask wind to blow
and I will open all my door.
Let them be in -
To all of them a cup of tea,
Let them be in
To feel the breeze of the sea.

I am tired
and I want to write,
A love letter
to my brethren.
I know they will write back
if they can get a pen,
Reduce the load of weapon
and give them too a pen.
