MY NAME IS AIR

I was there,
When there was no one,
Polluted and poisonous i was,
Yet, i was there.

No life was there,
No layer of hydrosphere,
Chunks and chunks of rocks everywhere,
And numerous clusters,
Of eternal fire spitting giants.

I was there,
When the skies,
Breathed fire,
Poured fire onto the earth,
Moulding and remoulding its shape.
Giving it seeds of a greener future.

I was there,
When a big ugly rock hit us,
It almost destroyed me,
But it gave birth,
To the ever beautiful moon,
Who like an eternal lover,
Hovers over us,
And looks after us each night.

I was there,
When the earth slowly cooled,
I was there,
When water was formed,
Which the moon strongly pulled.

I was lonely no more.
She, the beautiful grey sea was there.
As the years flew,
Younger and younger she grew,
From grey to the lovely blue.
Though slowly yet steadily,
Even i got purified,
Purged by her love.

I was there,
When the huge tides,
Washed the rocks,
Bringing transformation,
I was there,
When the primordial soup was under construction.
I saw life to form,
I saw it to evolve,
I saw how quickly,
The colour changes,
From dull grey,
To blue, green, oranges.
And when i thought i've seen everything,
I saw them rise.

I was there,
When Adam ate the apple,
I was there all along,
I saw the world change,
Fast and swift.
I saw them love,
With everything they got,
And i saw them kill for nothing atall.
I saw their purity,
And saw their cruelty.
I saw their generosity,
And even their insanity.

I was there,
When they jump started the end,
I saw how easily,
They ripped their planet apart.
I was there,
And i cried,
When they poisoned her,
I was helpless,
Yes, i was,
As they are killing me too,
I loved them,
I adored them,
But now i have no choice,
But to choke them to death.

I was there,
When this world was born,
And im here now,
When its dying,
My journey was,
It was lovely,
But as every joyride,
Comes to an end,
So will mine,
But the only thing,
I wish from you,
Is to remember me.

Because i was there,
I am still here,
As my name is AIR.

TUMI KE???

Kal dekhecilam tmake,
Aajo dekhte pachi.
Rastar opare,
Sei jhule pora bot gacher pashe,
Sei tim tim kore jole thaka,
Dum lighter aloye.
Kal dekhecilam,
Aajo dekhchi tmake,
Tumi ayenar dikey takiye,
Ki jano bhabcho.
Bosonter mridu hawae,
Janalar parda urche,
Mone hoche,
Jano amar sadhonae byaghat ghotche.
Dekhte paci sei hawaye,
Tomar ghono kesh,
Hawaye mridu mridu dulche,
Dekhte paci tumi nijer angul diye,
Abar seta guchiye nicho.
Sei batasher jhapta jokhn amar mukhe eshe lagche,
Mone hoche,
Jano tomar e angul duto,
Amar gaale alto kore sporsho kore jacche.
Kal o dekheci tomaye,
Aajo dekhte paci.
Ke tumi he sundori,
Ke tumi he ruposhi,
Kotha hote peyecho tumi,
Ei ujjol mukhosree,
Ei jajjolloman nayano moni,
Kotha hote esecho tumi,
Koi, agey toh kokhono dekhini.
Agey toh kokhno dakhini,
Tomar ruper moton rupe,
Jake dekhle hridoye othe kepe,
Ek odbhut pran spondoner dheu.
Jar protiti chahoni te ache,
Ek alada beche thakar akankha,
Jakey dekhle mne jage,
Sudhu tar-e jnye notun kore bachar protyasha.
Kal o dekhecilam tomae,
Aajo dekhte pachi,
Ke tumi,
Ke tumi he ishwar kanya,
Na, tumi amader ek nohe,
Tumi amader urdhe.
Jake dekhle amon madokata cheye jaye,
Shey ki shadharon manush hote parey,
Tobe tumi ke,
Tumi ki jhore pora kono tara,
Je path hariye,
Ei uchrinkhol, nongra samaj-e eshe poreche.
Tumi ke he sundori,
Tumi ke.

LAST NIGHT I DREAMT

Last night i dreamt of the world,
A World grasped in the fear of destruction,
I saw the devastation that we have brought on ourselves.
I saw the panic stricken flock,
Running hither and thither,
Mourning at their loss.

Last night i dreamt,
And i saw the monsterous buildings fall,
Like a house of cards,
And innocent people die in it.
I saw,
The so called megastructures,
To fall apart.

I was scared,
But i dreamt on,
I saw the pain,
I saw the suffering,
I saw the evil that we do,
And the evil that our doings return us with.
Both equally devastating,
Like an eternal feud between earth and heaven,
Last night i saw His wrath.

I saw the skies spit fire,
I saw them raining ashes.
And the most unlikely thing i saw,
Was a filthy scumbag beg for mercy.

But alas! The Gods said,
I heard,
"You had chance but now its over."
And i saw
The world crumble,
Into nothingness,
From where it was born.

A ROAD ACCIDENT

Dark lanes crowded behind,
Dark lanes ahead.
Yet i see the endless road,
That lies beyond me.
A familiar pain of infinite sorrow
Flowing through my veins,
Like theres no tomorrow.
Like theres no tomorrow.

A sudden invasion of gushing winds,
Thumping my eardrum.
Pinching my soul,
Like its nothing but a filthy scum,
And the eerie tone of the bloody night,
Keeps crawling under my skin.

The night is full of omens,
I see the owls hoot,
From far and far away,
I could hear, the Devils boot.
And i feel really scared,
No shame, maybe i should.
To only call the Divine's name,
Is all that i really could.

I want to end this journey,
I want to end this road,
No matter, howmuch i run from it,
It appears more and more,
But now im all spent up,
Escape is not a choice anymore,
My only road to return,
Ive a left a long way before.

Now u see me,
Im staning,
Staring right into the darkness,
And then i see it slowly fading,
And the light rises from beneth.

It slowly covers my entire face,
It blocks my power to see,
And the i hear the skidding tires,
But then it was too late for me.
