The Circus Poem by Rahman Henry
The Circus
The circus has begun a while ago-
It’s not ending
It’s time now that we join also
But we need to find fake mirrors before that
‘Cuz our faces need to look like clowns without any make-up
We’ll dismiss all the concepts of normal sounds from our vocal cords
From the brains we’ll withdraw the neurons of all our thoughts
Pump out history and past events from the memories
Submit ourselves to the circus-director, the Mr. know-it-all
And we’ll whisper into his ear that any stages on earth are built to be destroyed.

The Circus is still going on here. Ah, what an important picture!
What a power packed punch on the face of so called agents of change in our society or polity. Honest and emphatic. Thank you, Rahman Henry.
Once again I'm grateful to you, my dear poet. In our society, we are really tired of all those so called humanitrians and Politicians. Wishes a lot.

However we have to do it together...
