Shahid Minar

I
come all through
year

before the
dawn
sun rising

this is path
for the remembrance
with flowers

they all died for us,
mother tongue
for country peoples

I'm independent
today none can force to speak
in another tongue

this small flower oblation
from me for honor
though they did great for us all

from that nineteen fifty two
the Shahid Minar standing in heart
with revered love for martyr

to remind value of mother tongue
Twenty First February
comes as the Int. Mother Language Day


-February 20,2020 Chattogram 



****
note

The idea to celebrate International Mother Language Day was the initiative of Bangladesh. In Bangladesh 21 February is the anniversary of the day when Bangladeshis fought for recognition for the Bangla language

Native languages are on the verge extinction being replaced by other languages.Children dont know the meaning of the words of their own language since replaced by english and hindi.A good message in the poem.
