Before a PERMANENT SETTLEMENT
Tidal waves Swept away,
Not only the life of the coastal people
But also the sovurinity
Country becomes an open lab
Not invisibly
And people become the subjects openly
Experiments, Operations
In many forms, in many names
And in many banners or brand names
But,
Fear trodden people
In queues,
Waiting for Everything
And in every time
International figures come in and go
If it’s appropriate or not
Flooded the airport and harbor
With relief items for the affected
But the fear trodden people
Are still in queues
As usual
Intellectuals are busy with interpreting data
But the fear trodden people
Are still in queues
Experts are thinking loudly and planning extremely
Fully equipped with flow charts and blue prints
But fear trodden people
Are still in queues
Without questioning
Administrators are in busy
To implement the plans from above
But fear trodden people
Are still in queues
As in election days
Politicians are blowing in the wind
With miraculous statements
But fear trodden people
Are still in queues
Queues!
The only ways and means
We knew to give and take
And also
Effective visuals for the media Mongols
Oh!
Who is there to listen?
The simple and humble requests
Of the affected people
“First we need a temporary shelter
Away from the sea
To relax
And to sleep peacefully”
“And we want
To get rid of
Haunting dreams
And horrible memories”
But
“We were forced to wait for food”
“We were forced to run for relief”
“We were chased here and there for shelters”
And
“We are filling forms, forms and forms”
Is this a way of counseling us
Why is it happening to us?
Is it because we are geographically in the periphery
And also weak economically!
Or is it because we were forced
To be weak economically,
To satisfy the power lust of the
Developed self centered demi-god nations?
Think for us FIRST
A semi-permanent shelter
And
We will discuss about our future
AND
about our PERMANENT SETTLEMENT
