Something more
Pijush Kanti Deb *
Addition of something more and more-
pulls instantly tongue out of mouth,
protrudes eyes like ghosts
and compels to respire so wildly
that makes ashamed even a dog- a pet or wild.
Feeble are trampled in hustle
and piled into a stack to reach to the abundance,
friends are cheated in sabotage
and circumscribed by the cobweb of bankruptcy,
rivals are killed in conflict
and their powers are tarnished as well
and God fearing goes under the devil
to worship and gain something more in return.
It flies smokes and greed up and up
with sharp nails of carbon and desires,
the ozone-layer and heart get pinched and leaked,
drives away oxygen and heart
from the body of ozone-layer and mankind,
thus, may bring about the end of the homosapian.
