Whispers of Division: '71's Silent Grief

In '71, history etched in pain,

A tale of discord, a loss to explain.

From Jinnah's dream, a unified might,

To fractures deep, in the darkest night.

East and West, two wings once soared,

United in faith, in dreams adored.

Yet politics brewed an unsettling storm,

Tearing apart what had been the norm.

Bengal's ethos, its vibrant call,

Clashed with power, leading to the fall.

Cries for freedom echoed loud and clear,

Amidst the chaos, hope turned to fear.

Amidst the bayonets, a nation's cry,

A struggle for rights reached the sky.

Dhaka's streets bore witness, stained red,

As a nation's unity hung by a thread.

Through the pages of history's tome,

The agony of '71 finds its home.

More than a tale of a land torn apart,

It's a reminder etched in every heart.

Simple and sorrowful, this tale's refrain,

Of a nation's loss, a unity's pain.

In '71, history's sorrowful trace,

A testament to unity's fragile grace.

‘From Nostalgia to the Flight of Rebirth’ (An Eagle’s perspective)

Trapped in chains of the past, my existence bound, Agony sits atop the zenith, where sorrows surround. My timid heart besieged in the valley of despair, Reality's weight overthrows courage, leaving it bare. No wish granted by God's creation, it seems, Wounded by the dagger of history, lost in dreams. Ages have passed since wings of glory were unfurled, Once bestowed with exaltation, now weighed on my world. Feathers heavy and stuck to my aged chest, As apprehensions cling, refusing to rest. Shall I praise the claws that once caught with pride? The ones that hunted with honor, no longer stride. Talons, once adorned with flair, have lost their might, A century ago they gleamed, commanding the fight. Veil lifted from memories, my conscience now aware, Of a sermon's wisdom, an elder's heartfelt glare. "Oh creature of God, flight is your sacred duty, The heavens await, your destination of beauty. Integrity holds you firm, preventing your fall, Answer the earth's cal...
