To A Social Work Team Poem by Sankhajit Bhattacharjee

They are carrying food and water to the earthquake victims,
nursing them, cleaning the debris, cremating the dead…
Here the affected ones belong to their religion,
if not, they will never come to help them!
This discrimination is observed by the others,
if they come to help others, may be by mistake,
they will be buried alive…
Here the narrowness of religion has engulfed them firstly,
then the others.
The former are sophisticated communalists,
alas, the latter has become revengeful terrorists!
