One Bullet

I thought I’d go too far away with you Where our dream will be true But one bullet shatters the flower Which spreads the scent of love in the air I thought I’d win one day the throne of God Where our prayers are compiled a lot But one bullet stabs the hands of the praying Which embraces you as a true human being I thought I’d spend thousands of autumnal fair Where our unity will be a divine pair But one bullet incarnates the pair a corpse flood Which drives away the innocent fresh blood I thought the rose would be our commutable heart But the inhuman bullet makes it an imperialist dart © Mahtab Bangalee October 21, 2023 Chattogram
