Helpless Finger! Poem by Md. Asadullah

You Criminal! whenever
I looked at you.___
I thought you were
one amongst the few.___
Now I realize how
daft and dumb I was.___
My views were full
of defects and flaws.___

In murky waters they
all used to subside.___
It was their nakedness
they used to hide.___
Seeing they are not alone,
boldly they walk.___
They praise the Criminal,
about him they talk.___

Noises of jubilation
and victory surround.___
But I hear faint echoes
of agonizing sound.___
You Criminal! I used
to point only at thee.___
Helpless finger! Now
so many criminals I see.___
