Thank you Lt.Col Md. Shahadat for writing such a couragious and true picture of out Day today life of Bangladesh. And to all those who did not get it....its a sarcastic poem or deliberation/writing what ever you say it.!!
Poem: This is my Freedom !!! - Lt Col (Retd) Md Shahadat Hossain, psc
This is my freedom!!!
I cannot talk in favor of Hartal (Strike), because people would color me as sympathizer of opposition party.
I cannot talk against the Hartal (Strike), because people might treat me as likeminded of government party.
This is my freedom!!!
I cannot carry little money alone, because miscreants might abduct or kill me only for that little money.
I cannot walk or drive safely on any road, because any careless driver without license might hit or kill me on the spot.
I cannot let my daughter go for education singly, because she might be subject to eve teasing.
This is my freedom!!!
I cannot buy minimum food staff with my limited salary due to continuous market price hike.
I cannot buy medicine for my sick relatives or children from my earning as I also got to pay bribe for the education of my child.
This is my freedom!!!
I cannot talk about truth because my bosses and so called politicians would treat me threatened.
I cannot talk about honesty because of too many dishonest people around and the dishonest environment.
This is my freedom!!!
I cannot open my books or news papers due to unclear history of the past and present happenings,
I cannot open my TV or Radio because of only "Talk Shows" even by not competent to speak on the topic.
This is my freedom!!!
However, I have heroic bloods of sacrifice, though backdated of 1971, and a map named Bangladesh,
However, I have a flag, red and green, which I host on important dates, named as Bangladeshi flag,
However, I have a positive dream named "survival for the fittest and prosperous Bangladesh", preserved within me.
And this is my only freedom of dream!!!
