The Setting Sun Poem by abu tarek md tahsin

The setting sun
upon this empire of lavish abundance
glittering nights cape
breathtaking young ladies
wearing jewels of plunder
young men attired in arrogance
walking past beggars
begging for alms.

and the setting sun
beckons a night
of terrifying scream
upon the conscience of humanity

humanity
bought and sold
on the streets of Dhaka

in little packages
of credit cards
and bottles of liquor

and the sun has set
upon this city
of lost innocence.
