Shelter

White dim curtains began to cover the blue sky. The wind is blowing the smell of rain and wet asphalt. On the side of the road, a child hugged his cane, spread a handkerchief on the ground in front of him, and looked at the passers-by with hope. Some hurriedly left without even paying attention to the child, while others
tried to tell him that the rain which came in a downpour. As soon as the child began to move slowly, it rained by nature’s inexhaustible will. No one was left on the street. 

The poor child, leaning on his cane, managed to become a wet in no
time. At the beginning of the street, headed towards a rich man’s magnificent built house. Approaching the gate, he rang the bell and saw that the broad-shouldered rich man’s upward looking eyebrows did not suit his serious appearance at all. At that moment in a rough voice:

- What do you need, orphan?
- I came to seek refuge with temporarily, shivering with clothes clinging to my body and even my ribs. Can’t you shelter from one side of your yard until the rain stops? Said the child.

The rich man insulted him and slammed the door shut. From under her reddened eyelids, coral tears dripped onto my heart. I called the child, helped him and led him to my small hut. The hiccups that came out of his voice were like human moans coming out of the basement without sound. He was staring at the sky at night. The sky seemed to rage unceasingly and the grassy lines flashing. The ground trembled and screams were heard. Because the child has no legs and relies
on a cane, we didn’t catch up to go out and stayed inside the house.

While we were praying, dawn was breaking through the window. The child reached for his cane, eager to leave. Helping him out, I saw a rich man with his head in his hands. The magnificent house of the rich man could not withstand the rage of the earth in one night. As people slowly surrounded the area, among them the rich man’s face was pale, his legs were motionless, his lips were trembling, and his eyes were looking at the child with pain and regret….

Waltz of Electrons

In the realm of circuits and code,
Where electrons dance, secrets unfold.
Technology, our modern muse,
Weaves dreams in lines of binary hues.

Science, the seeker of truth profound,
Observes the cosmos, its mysteries unbound.
Through telescopic eyes, it peers afar,
Unraveling galaxies, each distant star.

Together they waltz, hand in hand,
In laboratories and cyberspace land.
Science whispers equations to the wind,
While Technology builds bridges to begin.

From silicon valleys to particle streams,
They birth innovations, like celestial beams.
Quantum leaps and bytes of insight,
They illuminate our world, day and night.

So raise a glass to this harmonious pair,
For they propel us forward, beyond compare.
In the symphony of progress, they play their part,
Technology and Science—a dance of heart.

The Tragedy of Gaza 

In Gaza's tragedy, a tale unfolds, 
Of broken dreams and stories untold. 
Where children's laughter mingles with fear, 
And sorrow's shadow stays near. 
In destroyed streets, hearts ache and mourn, 
Yet from the ashes, resilience is born. 
In Gaza's situation, a request for peace, 
May hope's gentle whispers never cease.

Wazed Abdullah is a student of grade nine in Harimohan Government High School, Chapainawabganj, Bangladesh.

Terrible Summer

In the heat of a terrible summer's day,  
The sun blazes with unrelenting sway.  
Sweat-soaked shirts cling to weary backs,  
As temperatures rise on endless tracks.  

Parched landscapes gasp for a drop of rain,  
While nature wilts in the scorching pain.  
The air is thick with a stifling heat,  
No relief found in shade or retreat.  

Oh, how the sun in its cruel delight,  
Seems to stretch the day into endless night.  
The once lively songs of birds are still,  
As the heat suffocates with its sweltering will.  


Don  Bormon is a student of grade nine in Harimohan Government High School, Chapainawabganj, Bangladesh.

What's Going On 

Every traveler's journey is over 
He turned back, Spring came, 
Frustration is over. 
The fragrance of the narcissus came, 
What happens if you come too! 
In every space there is a you 
You are the only one in my dream. 
Justice "Magic Wand" Him to me, me to him 
What happens if you meet! 
The words of this love, 
Love of lovers, 
Do not write in books, 
Let it live in hearts, 
What happens if you know this! 
O God, hear me 
The color of my rose face fades! 
Slowly the joy goes, 
The heart is filled with sadness, 
What happens if you have mercy!

Life 

In the years 
I've been traveling uphill. 
and savored 
every situation 
like a fruit. 

I have tried lemon 
bitterly 
that I even arrived 
To get accustomed 

I have lived 
situations 
gentle 
like lime 

the temptation of 
strawberries and sweet 
cherries 
gladly. 

The eaten kiwi 
with a mix of flavors and 
situations. 

I have eaten salad 
fruit 
without tasting 
the taste of nothing.
 
Today at this age 
I select what i want to eat 
And I enjoy every moment.
 
I'm coming 
to the top of my life 
and I will take my best 
memories

Tombstone

Tell me what should I compose 
My pen is paralyzed 
My garden turns into wasteland
My brain is fully unprofessional 
The Nature is disorder
The environment is disturbed 
The tree of loneliness is increasing 
Absence lives in presence 
Nobody can hear the heartbeat of air
I am without me
I am alone
Everyone is alone
The earth is alone
Birds do not dream 
Dream has no existence  
Flowers sleep outside the sight of butterflies

The butterflies burnt their flute
The cowboys don’t play flute
My spring has lost it's beauty 
Beauty doesn't smile 
The children have lost their silver moon
The moon doesn’t compose poems on the sky
The sky doesn't sing the song of humanity
Humanity doesn’t give water to the grasses
Grasses don’t walk on the roads
The roads are without passersby 
One fears another
 Shadow fears shadow
Life flies far away

History weeps behind civilization 
The pregnant darkness plays with darkness 
The funeral of spirituality has ended
The houses become hospitals 
The world is a graveyard 
Writing is a Tombstone   
Oh The Lord of the universe 
I am your
We are your 
Pardon us and save us.
