Slept 're
the streets and sky
slept 're
the villages and trees
and slept 're
the dreams billions
having shed
tear and blood
all day long.
I wanna disturb them not.
A smell
something too noxious
perhaps burnt
let me not sleep.
Me, awaken
in dark searching for
some belongings
I should have safe
for next morning.
Next morning
I find me burnt
in my crop field at harvest
burnt entirely!
Streets were slept and sky was also slept. Villages and trees slept with the smell of noxious dream. In the dark searching still you hoped for safety of some belongings until next morning arrived. Finding burning of crop fields next morning was sad and farmer found dead committing suicide by setting fire there was very bad and so sad. This was a very thought provoking poem on reading that expressed grief and we had an astonished view. ..10

I would like to translate this poem
A timely poem while the sons of Earth are being adopted by the Great mother Earth in so tragic way. A king not only invites His destruction by humiliating the teachers, but also when he forces farmers and peasants for self-immolation. Thanks for the sharing. 10+++
