Children

 Since, I don't have a child, 

I need to rectify myself in ways that earlier I couldn’t, 

I need to heal the inner child before I could bring forth another in this realm, 

Because, It's always the ones who do mistakes- brings upon lessons for their child to learn in this world ; Captivated with generations of burdens-

For the child to face!

Since, I am childless, 

I need to become the purified version of an image that I would want to see in my children. 

Because, It's always the longings and hopes of parents as projections on their child-

That they couldn’t become-

They impose on them!

I don't want to alter anyone, 

Or, desire-

Instead, I want to become!

In the process of 'becoming' that I would love to see in another!

  কবি ফারহিন আক্তার ভূঁইয়া ন্যান্সি জন্মেছেন মরুভূমির দেশ আমিরাতের ফুজেরার দিব্বা শহরে। বাবা ফজলুল হক ভূঁইয়ার চাকুরি সূত্রে দুবাইতে অবস্থান করেছেন অর্ধেক জীবন। ফারহিন ন্যান্সি , দেশে এসে পড়াশুনা করছেন বর্তমানে , ঢাকা বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ের সমাজবিজ্ঞান বিভাগের স্নাতকোত্তর পর্যায়ে। ছোটবেলা থেকে লেখালেখির সাথে সম্পৃক্ত কবির বেশ কয়টি লেখা কবিতা প্রকাশিত হয়েছে বিভিন্ন পত্র - পত্রিকা , লিটয় ম্যাগাজিনগুলো এবং সংকলনে। ইউএসএইড ২০১৯ - এ সেরা পঞ্চাশ গল্পরচিয়তার মধ্যে স্থান পেয়েছেন। এছাড়াও , বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ের সাহিত্য সাময়িকীসহ , ব্লগে নিয়মিত লেখেন। বাংলা - কবিতা ডটকমে বেশ সরব ছিলেন। দেশ্মাতৃকাকে ভালোবেসে , দেশ ও মাটির মানুষের জন্যে উনি গভীর অন্তর্দৃষ্টি দিয়ে দর্শনসমৃদ্ধ কবিতা রচয়ন করেন। মানুষের মুক্তি ও উত্তরণ তার লেখালেখির উদ্দেশ্য।                   শিল্পীর মৃত্যু                   ...

Alienation from the Roots, DNA race and Divine Masculinity-femininity: Super-ego and evolution of Moral Justice

Image
Yes, your DNA is selfish- Selfish in preserving its traits-the trends traced back to your origin,  It chooses carefully,  The source and you are looted not only via bio-weapons but by your very own mind-set which is altered by the blending of projected socio-cultural trends- now globalized, Alienation from self and your roots, You are sabotaging your own originality, Deviating from your path, But, your ancestors are calling you- Your collective memory recalls- Who you were and who you oathed to be- We are alienated from the the culture that once aspired us- Gave us our identity-our roots,  That's why we are facing the downfall, No ethical leadership, no divine masculine remained to lead us- To guide us- To show us path- To free us! No divine femininity from where the graceful civilization is born, Or,no divine womb from where the ancient civilization will be revived! And, Hyder asks me how do we survive the peril, the perish and who will be our pariah in the dystopian ord...

Deconstructed love

 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...
