Poems by Dr. Ratan Ghosh
God is dead
Thousands, Millions Billions
Leaving the mythical honey trap
Leaving the fathom full of hate-sea
Leaving the path full of darkness
The rulers of this earth seem worried now like their ruler
They both have deep sigh in anguish!
When they see
The crowd of blooming petals approaching
Questioning the faith
When they see
Countless youths are approaching
And questioning them
In search of truth
God is dead
God is dead, they know
Soon or late….
Gone enough
Gone enough
in my river of pain!
Innumerable stars lost like floating hyacinth
Perhaps floating still on a flooded stream
Innumerable still fortunately surviving like a caged bird
However, every day they pass
through lightening of threats!
An invisible, unknown but inevitable destiny is constantly whispering even in sleep
“Convert or leave”
The wind is blowing fast like a black horse
Anything may happen like 1946
Now, tears fall no more
Enough fell so far
And wet my bed with blood
Even I feel now perspiration is drying up from my panting skin in fear
The beatings of my heart are now tuning into fearfully fearless pulse
The skin is losing its glow slowly though
The helpless bones are waiting to be fractured in silence
My sleepless neurons are no more able to respond
Light is quietly losing
As once, light was lost from my ancestral home
Gone enough!
Gone enough from my homeland!
I am not a Lotus Eater
I have no time to live
in a den of pleasure
I can’t wane my time
in a Lotus land
Where sleepers sleeping for decades
I can’t…
I see these Lotus Eaters
Surrounding me
I can’t live among them, I know
History always haunts me
It always keeps me awake
It’s always haunting my veins
even in sleep
I feel always
The smell of bones left decades before haunting my nose
even in sleep
I see always
The huge crowd of dead bodies haunting my senses
even in sleep
I feel always
The drops of blood still dripping so quietly from unnamed burials
even in sleep
I feel always
How they all are still writing the name of my homeland with Red Blood
They are writing my sad tales in my sky still
They are painting my painful memories
I walk among them
even in sleep
to listen to the painful calls of my sisters
to listen to the wails coming from million burials
to listen to the wails coming from of the train compartments
Those trains carried the blood of my father, grand-father
to listen to the wails of innocent children
Who moaned, moaned, moaned for decades
from far and near
for their humble Ma and Baba
I walk among them
to listen to the calls of those muddy paths
They too are heavily burdened with the spot of blood
I walk among them
to listen to the calls of Feni and Padma
They are still trying to whisper the tales of blood bath
I can’t live
Never have I time to live in sleep
So long, I listen to the wails of my memories
from the burials of East Bengal…
