They march
They learn to face their fear
They learn to protest
They protest against a murder
They want justice
They learn to unite and march.
Suhina Biswasmajumdar, an eminent poet from Kolkata, West Bengal, shares a poem she wrote for a promising doctor recently gang-raped and murdered in Kolkata
A writer from Kolkata, Bengal and a life-long devotee of Swami Vivekananda, Suhina is against any discrimination. Two significant life-forces propel her – ‘love’ and ‘writing’. Suhina’s six books including ‘Tumi’ (you), ‘Songs of Silence’ (A Journey to Love), and ‘Kono Ek Susmita Ke’ are collections of her poetic thoughts.
THEY MARCH
They march.
She gives them a lesson.
No crematorium ceases
Her voice,
Silence revolts,
Demands her right to protest,
Right to be protected,
Right to live a happy life ever after.
But…
But…
And now
She gives them a lesson.
They march.
At least
They learn to face
Face the fear
Fear of death
Or decay?
They learn to face
Face the fear
Fear to live a life of a non-entity,
Of leeches or lies.
Their spines response.
They protest
They demand justice
They demand protection
Protected today n tomorrow.
A call…
A deadly call…
That call could heal…
She gave.
She gave them a lesson.
They marched.
They march
They learn to face their fear
They learn to protest
They protest against a murder
They want justice
They learn to unite and march
They learn
From
The brutal murder of a young promising doctor.
