I Shall Return Poem by Ershad Mazumder

Dad, I shall not return to that country
Full of abundance and affluence
People are more than machine
Or robot
Their god is Dollar
I shall not return.

My country may not have
Affluence or abundance
My country is full of heart
and green
People are sweet and soft
full of heart
They love people.

My country is natural and original
with a history and heritage
of thousand years.
This country is full of music
with dancing river
Singing birds.

Dad, I shall never return to
that country of thousand opportunities
I am happy with my
grandma's embroidered quilt
may be very old and worn out
I want to hug my mom
with smiling face.

I want to see midnight
smiling stars
Soothing melting moon
flowing to my mom's bed.
I shall never return
to that country of mechanic happiness.
Good bye dad, good bye.
