In Uncertain Future Poem by Siddique Mahmudur Rahman

In Uncertain Future



... And then sound of falling and breaking down all around
I thought and I was at a loss at the shattering of the hill
All the energy is exhausted, light is wiping out
I am standing like a tree in a darkness,
Who can not stand erect at its own strength.
I seems that I have no memory, around me sharks are wading
The Time is approaching with its vulture-like beaks at the baffled people
The sky has stooped down on the heads. I wanted to peep through the doors of remembrance,
I wanted to recollect those days of history, the power of looking back, asexuality, Alzheimer's are knocking my head.

My memories are clogged in the ruin scene of a city
Now I can not remember anything-
I only think the sky was not illuminated with moon,
the stars never lit up or no dawn is seen,
the winds never blew- flower never bloom
Only the birds flew dejectedly and shed snows and lost their target -

I looked before me and behind me, I saw no one
I only heard a moan. I felt the ocean is creeping towards the field
Hills are shattering down, and wild buffaloes are smashing
throughemerald green cropland
I hear the people scream, but my eyes are trapped at a blank meadow, I couldn't understand in future who will move
and reach the happy life crossing that vast field.
