The New Nation - Internet Edition

Our Liberation War and Victory Day

M.Mizanur Rahman

I t were horrid and horrendous night and day

that overshadowed the sky of Bangladesh

with military marauders of killing squads

led by the Hitlerite-demons Yahya- Tikka and their henchmen

that made the blood-bath by torturing and killing

millions of Bangalees in genocide hands;

and they raped mother Bangladesh;

their hungry swelling mouths and ugly faces smeared blood

of men women and children

between the months of March 25 and December 16, 1971.

Our Z - K - S forces stubbornly and heroically fought the enemy

and our valiant people supported them by all means and

we shed enough blood and tears to make our country

free from the shackle of dependence and

the yoke of domination from the foreign nation.

But those brutish but evil force of cowards

Yahya- Tikka gong could not withstand the heroic Bangalee nation.

The morale of this nation was stronger than

those forces of the brutes. They had to surrender

to our allied Indo-Bangladesh liberation force

on the sixteenth day of December 1971.

We fought the enemies and won the freedom of our country.

The writing of the history of those fateful days in blood is done.

We are now an independent and sovereign nation.

We rejoice today that crowned Bangladesh with victory.

Our green land and the red sun on our sovereign standard

symbolise our spirit of life and strength of mind

ever inscribing harmonious and peaceful free country.

We solemnly pledge to defend our freedom and sovereignty

with our high morale of the liberation spirit

in course of every odd and adversity.

We, the heroic people of Bangladesh shall remain ever free.

Our Bangladesh is the core of our heart and soul-we love our country.

Doomsday

Md. Maiz Uddin

On the doomsday we are to recapitulate

The deeds and formalities to God

Just to save ourselves but not

having the punishment for our misdeeds

Done on the earth.

Helping the miserable people

When in need,

But one didn't pay heed

To the divine order

How will he now cross the border?

No opportunity is there to be freed

No ability is there to be saved

But to beg mercy to God

Might he show thee mind his broad.

Sunny, the journalist!

M. Zahidul Haque

Morning has broken

Crows has spoken

Sunny has risen

Hearing the clock's siren!

Today was the first day

As an apprentice Journalist,

In daily -

'The Mongol Groho Today'.

Quickly Sunny brought out

His Editor's handout

To search,

How to draw a news lay-out.

NEWS defined as,

Anything visual or audio-visual

happening in North, East, West,South,

Including trafficman taking bribe,

A police Surgent imposing a fine!

The last resort to explore a news

is to visit dot.com online!

Sunny ran fast

Towards the East,

Sensing the smell of a big feast.

Yes, some big-wigs there

Busy in making a deal.

Hey,You!

Why are you gazing at me,

A huge guy warns

NotSirt. I am Sunny,

Searching a news,

Nothing so amusing or funny!

Understand, Honey!

You need some money, The boss-type guy exclaimed-

Abandon the story about our deal,

Feel free and join in our meal!

Butt.Sir,

Sunny murmured-

Your offer is beyond my journalistic ethic

I cannot share this

in terms of your arithmetic!

I shall reportt..

What I have seen.

Smart boy!

The boss chimed,

Go to hell,

Tomorrow, your Boss's boss

will come to ring my bell

And your journalistic ethic

Will be put on sale!
