verse works of Shahwar Kibria

REVOLUTION





Stop pimping dreams
In the bar of fire wine

Stop singing secrets
To dozing warriors

Stop lulling your kid
With the lust of war

Stop painting your wall
With watery bullets

Stop warding off flies
With ballistic grenades

Stop feeding your town
On fodder from the grave

Stop swinging on the string
Tied to nowhere; from nowhere

Stop thinking in octates
They are not your tune

Stop faking music from leaves

Stop pimping dreams

you have a sensitive perception.. use it more often while writing poetry...
"Stop faking music from leaves"- nice phrase.

Hard hitting and well-crafted. The rhythm of the new, wounded age.
