Lie

 



Only the weak ones know, nobody loves them, 
Only the competent ones know, none likes them,
Only the strong ones know, how pitiful it is to show one's weakness, cause nobody actually cares,
Only the broken hearts know the cost of trusting, 
Only the genuine ones know, how fake smiles can be, 
Only a hard working person knows, 
People likes them for their rendered services, 
They like them for the identity they build, 
Nothing is permanent, 
Nothing last long, 
And, nothing can be as joyful as truth,
Regret! Momentary happiness is a lie, 
There's no ounce of truth in it and so the joy
once brings brim of smile on your face is
washed away with the flow of tears,
Just like the ocean waves coming and going on the same sea-shore.

July Revolution and Gen-Z’s March to mass political awareness: A generation’s evolution from apolitical to political entities.

 July Revolution and Gen-Z’s March to mass political awareness: A generation’s evolution from apolitical to political entities.  Farheen Akter Bhuian Gen-z don’t read political histories, they can’t remember our national heroes' names properly, and they even meddle between National Independence Day and Victory Day; how on earth can they gain critical analytical power to understand the hodgepodge situation of a repressive state ruled by autocracy in a dire regime of fascism?  This was a concern of many millennials, especially academics, who thought this generation would achieve nothing. They don’t raise their voice; they are so submissive, they lack attention to crucial matters, and they are always busy playing video games and stuck in daydreams. But the July revolution’ has shown us what Gen-z are made of! Who knew the video game-playing indulgent generation would play with dominant state forces against autocracy and fight for democracy, leaving their virtual field of bat...

Deconstructed love

Image
 This breath is century old- the chilling breeze in the bridge, All the bright stars are covered in silver clouds, I have come across a long way- a long way before any of the bridges were built, Everything was meant to melt away like the snow in my hands near the fireplace, I have run in the woods before, I sang the love song earlier before the morning birds chirped, Will my eyes be tired of seeing the endless beauty that these mornings offer? Will my soul be worn out at the peace of such bliss? Love was never meant to be in partiality but it is, It is not wholesome like the solitary mornings, Even the brightest of all the shades fades away in the cruelest noon, The freezing vibes get itchy, But it's at the sunset point after the foggy morning when we meet at the cleared alley, Before that, every bridge has to be burnt that we have crossed, Before that, every soul should die before we become the awakened one! The falsehood of self portrayed by us in various temporalities,  Bef...

The fate of the mountain and the fountain

Image
 Ask that rock,  Ask that fountain,  How they moved on! The fountain said, You just accept and move on,  Or you accept and stay still like the rock and become like a mountain,  Standing tall, standing straight, persistent amongst all the odds,  The rock smiled briefly and shrugged,  But, I never knew beyond the storms!  Never discovered new horizons,  And, never did I mark into a land of ooze nor did I step into a flowing river!  I did not know collaboration,  All I knew was to stand alone and strong!  Then, the fountain said,  At least, you are being yourself and your essence is completely yours, you smell like a rock but I smell like a dumpster of algae,  But, I chose to accept it anyways what came into my ways and kept moving on! Now, I lost my essence becoming something else!  My identity is lost,  The rock smirked,  You did not loose your identity, instead embraced a new one,  Your identity is...
