Mirror for Blind

(SAYDABAD, Bangladesh) - It is wonderful to publish poems on a Sunday, of course our poems at Salem-News are real life and far from fun in endless ways, but in a world as broken as this one is, we are honoring the art form and making it useful.

William Gomes in Bangladesh, is an amazing researcher with a big heart and it is because of his efforts that we recently launched our 'Eye on the World' reports, which are vitally important not just for the individuals in peril we discuss, but because each represents a case of unenforced laws.

As a poet, William Gomes' works compliment Salem-News.com poets Nahida Izzat in London, and Luke Easter in Cleveland. His contributions to the world through journalism and official outreach are meaningful and constant, there are few things I admire more.

The government corruption and abuse of privilege under the color of law that allows these crimes to take place, are leaving human victims in the wake.

Why do they allow such miserable living conditions for the people they are elected to serve?

By William Gomes

The mirror is shining
The Earth is moving
The earth crawling in pain
But the Men are blind!

The Men are dancing on their success
They are king, they lord
They have nice name Obama, Hasina, Rajapaksa
Or USA, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka,

They have different name but they are blind
They are one!
The men are blind for power and position
The men are blind to kill and conquer

The men are killing each other
Then men will keep killing until they kill themselves
If Shri Narayana Guru comes again, they will kill Guru
Yes! They will kill Guru and form another 9/11 or 7/7

They will Send Guru in Exile!
Yes! I am serious, they are blind, and they cannot see the Mirror
Yes, I am serious; they don’t want to see the Mirror
Yes, I am serious they don’t read poem

Yes, they are serious too!
Yes, they don’t read poem but they made law
Yes, they are expert! In legalizing killings!
Yes! Guru, don’t come, they will kill you!

Yes, they are blind, they cannot see
Yes, they had broken the justice
Yes, they had broken the mirror for others
Yes, they made others blind who want to see.
