Amidst the chaos and confusion
A world of contradictions, an illusion
Where excuses are nonsensical and vague
And doubts linger like a shadowy plague
Leaders shout and rebels revolt
Their slogans are heard, yet nothing's solved
For country or nation, what do we need?
As greed takes over and justice recedes
In the land of democracy, the curse is clear
Where mixed economy is ruled by fear
Disproportionate wealth, a common sight
As slogans of the Adanis/Ambanis drown out the right
But amidst the chaos, there's a silent voice
A truth that's buried, yet it has a choice
In a public cremation ground, two bodies lie (brought to be burnt on pyre)
One with Sandalwood's grandeur, another with bamboo's sigh!
Economic growth or development, what do we choose?
As we light the pyre and bid adieu
To a world of contradictions and confusion
And embrace a new reality, with a clearer vision.

- Comment from author about the poem: " The poem "Nosensical Excuse" by Mottakinur Rahman is a critique of the chaotic and contradictory world we live in, where excuses are nonsensical and doubts persist. The poet highlights the failure of leaders and rebels to solve the problems of society, and the dominance of greed and the disappearance of justice. The poem also comments on the flaws in the system of democracy, where fear rules the mixed economy, and wealth is unevenly distributed, leaving the poor marginalized. The poet's message is that the truth is often buried, but it has the power to emerge and bring about change. The contrast between the grandeur of the Sandalwood and the sigh of the bamboo is a powerful metaphor for the inequality and injustice that exists in society.The question raised in the poem, "Economic growth or development, what do we choose?" highlights the dilemma faced by many societies today, where the pursuit of economic growth often comes at the cost of social and environmental development. Overall, the poem is a poignant reflection on the state of the world and the need for a clearer vision of reality. The poet's use of vivid imagery and thought-provoking metaphors makes this a powerful piece of writing that leaves a lasting impression on the reader." #Editor-'Anuranon' magazine - Masihur Rehman
