Let me live

- Mahfuz Nabeen (Bangladesh)

The roar of your bullets
Give the book a whirl
 
Crushed under your boots
Shake my face
 
I forgot your power
I forgot the ghost
 
I don’t do processions as a hobby
Today I will be a huge monster kite
 
I am no longer afraid
I’m not trembling in the rubble
 
I will shout
I’m hungry; I’m hungry
 
Give me food
I want to live
Let me live
 
I forgot the war
I have learned to rebel
I forgot Joy
I’m burning with hunger
 
I will do the same as you
I am honest; You are useless
I will fight for rights, death is intact
 
Give me food
I want to live
Let me live.
