The Road Taken Poem by Muzahidul Reza

The road will be taken, the right road
From the roads of roads of eternal twos
To cross a long way of even, uneven,
Zigzag, of fire, water; through rain,
Drought, mist, storm; over rivers,
Oceans full of current to reach hope
From despair, fear, damn and loss
The right one to be prayed and chosen;

We are here waiting for long and long
In centuries darkness, losing vision,
Being dumb and blind to guess our goal,
In aimless plights we are roaming
With short luxury, nasty stuffs, rotten food
Being quite indifferent to our mission,
Chaos engulfing us for wrong and wrong
Day by day leading us to the final ruin,
Yet neither we look for means and ways
Nor can out of illusion and destruction;

But path we find from own made hell
To save our every immortal soul,
Let's rub our ears, eyes with two stones
We inherited from who succeeded.
Let's look front, back, left, right, all sides
Begging pardon us for our deadly sins;

Lo! The prediction from right direction is
Showing true evidences, trust of hopes,
So, leave this light pleasure, short sleep
For right path of liberation and salvation,
The road will be taken, the right road
From the roads of roads of eternal twos.
