Comrade
I said comrade to all my colleagues and friends and all of my herds
I thought and said and behaved all equally and fairly
We ate together the same food, we slept together in the same bed
And we read together the same books
And of course we talked, discussed and debated the same topic
With great interests and enthusiasm
All together
It was like my own family
Nothing in me, I hide anything
With all my comrades
It was like one family: living together, dying together
My family was their family and theirs were mine
When I had no chance to dance
There was no line of demarcation to divide
Until we fought together
Revolted together in all activities
We took similar and equal responsibility
When there was no opportunity
For justice, equality and humanity
But until we found our unexpected dream come true
I do not know why I changed
From day one of this dream fulfilled
From day one I was out of the nature
I changed, he changed and they changed
We all changed together
No more comrades
No more similarities
No same bed or breakfast
No same treatment or meeting
No more common issues
Among us, dear comrades of the past
We are separated like a divorced couple
My wife and children became my own comrades
No more other comrades
Who fought together, lived together and ate together
For so many years
But now I forgot the bygone days
But I have my own comrades
My own coterie of comrades
Became my closest of the close friends
Close comrades are better
Than far away comrades
Whatever others say about me
And my comrades, I do not care
As all comrades cannot be equal
Some are certainly more equal than far away
Comrades of different caste, colour, and culture
In this age and time of opportunity
I know the importance of my wife, my daughter and my son
And my close relatives and donors and slave like supporters
My purpose is fulfilled
My dream achieved
So no more comrades unless I need
Your help and support and your backing
If I start to fall down from my post and power
My dear comrades
My dear comrades!
