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.

The Temperature

In one place of the world it rains

It rains much enough to grow the green

Living in peace

The opposite is firing in heat wave

Fire is burning furiously

As the human body the body of the earth is burning

It shrinks the atmosphere to lead

What does it mean the outer beauty of rain?

When the people of Gaza are falling in hunger

Fire snatches away the lives

As the little animals are crushed to the ground

In one part we sleep with sweet dreams

The other section is trapped in flame.
