Poetry from Mahbub Alam

Middle aged South Asian man with reading glasses, short dark hair, and an orange and green and white collared shirt. He's standing in front of a lake with bushes and grass in the background.
Mahbub Alam

Knowledge

To the real world with the mind’s connection

What should be or not

To face anything good or bad

Wrong or right

Presents unseen

To the conscience with the light to justice

No other than human being it possesses

It is set up to live better in life

Like the starry light on the garden

The smooth way to go

The world is decorated in such a way

We think and make our own design

Not to see the devastation on Gaza

Or other country’s death in fight

Or in racial conflict in our country or others

Or in starvation in Africa

Let all the birds die and only we live

Knowledge, how are you always being used to lead?
