Write down
My name is Abdullah
Write down
My name is Shanker Deb
Write down
My name is Ruth Black
Whatever you like to call
Write down
I am from nowhere
Though travel across the edges of your thoughts
Think something;
No any boundaries can confound my soul
No any history can entrap me
Yes,I do exists in all forms
Single undivided human
Write down
I cut my flesh
Sell it in a market
To feed my little child
With a loaf of a bread
My flesh is salty
My flesh is tasty
They love the feast of my flesh
It is cheap though
A hungry hawk clash their beaks
Write down
My mother is a whore
My wife is a whore
For they think they can touch
They can suck
They can sleep with them every night
Smell of their semen
Smell of their urine
Agonized tears of my mother
Oozing vagina blood of my wife
They leave behind
They call it a divine gift for me
I am paralyzed at my heart
I am paralyzed at my soul
My son doubts
Whether I do have testicles ?
Write down
Unlike those cowards
I am armed in my soul
My guns trigger are stretched back
I am the one who fires the bullet
Against the empire of enslaved wishes
Against the gloom of atrocious season
Yes, I am a rebel
I won’t spare a single of them
I will tear their throat apart
Then make them taste their own blood
Whether its sweet ,salty , bitter
And tell them there is a promise
I won’t make their mother naked
I won’t rape their wives
I won’t let their child smell semen of mine
But, I will not spare them
Who made my young gun mad
Write down
I am a rebel
But don’t you ever dare to write
I am a terrorist
I shout loud at this line
Write down
I am a rebel
Beware of my deranged insanity
Beware of my half starved stomach
Beware of my thirst
I will eat you up
I will not spare a single of them.
