Two Poems

I

I was led to delusion, 

From belief to deception.

I never doubted your honey

But you treated me to poison.

I put my heart in your trust

But you sold it off to Lucifer.

You greeted me with false embraces

And I was pierced bloody with icy nails.

Your smile was a glinting knife

Beneath you hid my lurking fate.

I followed you in good faith 

But was brought where innocence dies.

II

Your promises were sham

And you hid behind word games.

I trusted you beyond measure 

But what you did wasn't fair.

You wove my trust like fine gauze

And tore my delicate faith with claws.

The wounds bled without a tongue

Your schadenfreude was without conscience.

শিক্ষার্থীরা জানান, রমজানে জনগণের ভোগান্তির কথা চিন্তা করে তারা পূর্বঘোষিত ‘শাহবাগ ব্লকেড কর্মসূচি’ থেকে সরে এসেছেন। এর পরিবর্তে তারা আজ জাতীয় জাদুঘরের সামনের রাস্তায় সন্ধ্যা পর্যন্ত অবস্থান করবেন।
