Today, around 10 am of 20 Feb 2010. For me, new time stared, then. No wind blowing on the hill. And no bird chirping. Instead, bullets shooting – And shouting, screaming, fulfill. No places for me to escape. Houses, shelters burnt to ashes.
Mountain of "Furomon", "Jamoshuk" standing with its glory. Rugged street, crossing river, ivy tress lost its beauty. Instead, obscured bodies laid down on the road. Blood! Blood! Everywhere. Someone command burn the house And someone screaming Help! Help! Please Help! My father is chopped! By chance, a sound from the crowd. FIRE Ta! Ta! Ta! (Sound of gun) Then blood and blood there, again somebody laid down.
No water swoops down from the white stream. No gleaming hilly lady appears on the crag of hills. No footprints laid down on the street of bazaar. Even no midnight fisher man’s song on the "Karnafully" River.
No mother can still stop her screaming. Not even my sister can stop her tear. Ceaseless moan of them softly echoed in "CHT’s" air.
No wind of change for thousand years more. No smile on their face, not even song of hope. No law and right, no identity for us. Whom are we waiting for? I don’t even know what for.
"CHT’s" = "Chittagong Hill Tracts consists of three hill districts in Bangladesh. "Furomon", "Jamoshuk" = name of the hill in Chittagong Hill Tracts, Bangladesh. "Karnafully" = name of a river.
