A RIVERINE COUNTRY
Poem by Chan Mongol
June 22 of 2022



A riverine country doesn't have boats and so is sick;

Or, is it my madness and me who is sick as I speak?

Minimizing death toll of kids and cattle was possible

Floating on water by boat could save many sunk people!

Once, every home had boats in this riverine land

Luxurious life like the West they now pretend.

Boat's must be made and arrange the distribution

For communication in flood, in the rainy season.

Talkers are getting huge donations

For those dead and sinking populations.

Immediately make boats to let them live in

In flood affected areas, no boat is seen!

Millions of undocumented money collection

No attempt to make boats for sinking population.

None is witnessing of proper food distribution

Donation takers are perhaps sinking in corruption.

Here, most disasters are wicked people made trades

In Bangladesh, many die by criminal Syndicates.

Children, cattle died and water reached to roof level;

Flood in Bangladesh isn't publicized by UNO but its horrible!

In a riverine country, family boats should increase

Victims can live on boats but not on the stonned bridge!
