The Safe Home
[After reading The Safe House - Poem by Taslima Nasrin
and note- "This poem was written while Taslima was forced to live in confinement in an undisclosed location in Delhi from 22 November 2007 to 19 March 2008. Sujal Bhattacharya translated this poem from her book"] PRISONERS POEMS
Jail
the safe home for criminal
to change the guiltiness!
Safe home
my home
where I'm free
independent bird
can fly hither to thither
whenever I want wherever,
can speak, can write, can eye contact,
can live, can sleep............
But there I've seen
the safe home
where freedom in solid doom
where independence in cruel chain
where a woman was obliged to live
for safety from toxic paws of independent criminals !
