Poem - I've Heard Whispering, Poet - Imdadul Islam (India)

 

I've Heard Whispering 

Imdadul Islam

I've heard whispering of the Earth's soul,

She is not so well, as said.

She doesn't have proper love of the human beings,

Doesn't want to see shedding of human blood on her chest.

But coerced!

I've heard whispering of the Earth's soul,

She is not contented with glee.

She doesn't want to see dishonouring of the womankind,

Doesn't want to see the penurious war torn children.

But coerced!

I've heard whispering of the Earth's soul,

She is not so happy, as said.

She doesn't have actual dignity of the human beings,

Doesn't want to see demolishing of the human habitations by each other.

But coerced!

I've heard the whispering of the Earth's soul,

She wants to alert me about the destruction of the whole human society,

As they don't know how to live together with solidarity.

I've heard her furtive whispering,

Then heard her lamention regarding our misbehaving,

I've also analysing her craved wishing.

But I'm unable to appease her to say , we the human beings will be as you want,

Unable to take an oath to her, we'll live together amiably,

Because I know, an evil entity always tries to misguide us,

And we most of us worship him.

Are we compelled to worship this evil power trying to stay in our inner soul?
