Song Of Civilization Poem by Sayeed Abubakar

Song Of Civilization

Rating: 5.0


Slayers wait in ambush into each corner of civilization;
Only the ancient communalism exists among men.
Everyone thinks ownself pure and perfect;
Has the primitive ignorance decreased ever a bit?

Modern age is more horrible than the medieval age;
Democracy, fanaticism and chauvinism are, like
wild sharks, devouring the whole universe;
Intention of killing other men prevails among men.

To whom will women go and where the infants for shelter?
Under which sky will the hungry homeless people stay?
Arakan has turned into ashes being burnt in the fire of hatred;
Atomic bombs fall like rain on the soil and water of Babylon.

Barbarism of fake civilization has crossed all limits;
Darkness dazzles our eyes more than light.
