The Road Is Burning.. Poem by Sanjib Saha

'The Road is Burning...'

The road is burning...
burning in the heat.
Words are emerging
from the faint flames,
take them with you.
The body is burning,
slowly taking shape,
take it with you.

Keep walking, keep walking,
one, two, three, lakhs,
crores of voices will rise one day,
take them with you.

As you walk,
see how the scorching footprints remain,
remaining in civilization,
deep within humanity - in protest!
