The Question Forever Poem by Nazmul Haque

How can you be
so simply, so easily indifferent?
Why me alone
should put up with this heavy load?

How can you smile
so freely, so frankly?
How your heart's sky be
so fresh, so blue, so cloudless?

Why should I cry
so deeply, so silently?
Why my heart's sky be
so gloomy, so dark, so full of clouds?

Why it's me alone
should engage a war with myself?
Standing accused in the court
of my own conscience?

You are like the freely moving waves
Of the river,
Singing sweetly as you move on,
And me the oar-less sailor
Trying hard to go against
with my little broken boat.

How can you be
so simply, so easily indiffeent?
Why me alone
should put up with this heavy load?

It's the gravest insult in the world
to care and be uncared for.
