“Lines Of Hunger from Bangladesh, by Muhammad Haque, May 1991”
The Lines, abbreviated to LOHB, were inspired by the then just occurred cyclone that had killed a large number of people along the southern Bangladesh coastline...
I wanted to write something topical. Something that appealed straight to the emotions of the reader, the observer.
LOHB became in a matter of days, the longest poem that probably ever got written on the subject of hunger.
I shall be publishing an update today Saturday 31 May 2008
This will be the start of a series of poems covering both the situation iN Bangladesh and especially in India and China. And of course in Europe and the rest of the world....

with readings of poems by local writers and including poems by locally based campaigners in the East End of London and by
Qazi Nazrul Islam – The Rebel Poet, Satirist, essayist, novelist Philosopher, activist against colonialism of the mind and of the body - who wrote in a form of the Bangle language that got transformed beyond compare to its state when Nazrul started to write. A highly intelligent linguist of the finest standard, Qazi Nazrul Islam was the first poet to write in that language with so many international linguistic components that no one who did not know the full range of the language of Bangla pre-Nazruil would know what phenomenal transformation for the better Nazrul had caused… And with it the kind of pioneering international humanitarianism which even now, a 100 years after Nazrul started to compose his best poetry, is being slowly understood across the globe…
Hasson Raza – One of the dozens of Seelotee language poets and philosophers and reformers
Michael Madhusudhan Dutt – the leading Bangla-Sanskrit-English-Tamil [and other languages] phosphor poet and ambassador of goodwill for people of nations. MM Dutt also pioneered the particular Sankrit-basded aspect of the Bangla language in a way that ahs not been even approached by any of his successor writers or poets, let alone matched by any one. Dutt epitomized the literary and cultural opposition to racism in England and in France.
Muhammad Iqbal – The definitive philosopher and thinker advocating the establishment of International human equality who wrote mainly in Urdu. His essays on contemporary world and the Reconstructions of Religious Thought in Islam predated by a century the onset of the debate that is still being worked out on the relationships between the faith and its adherents and between the faithful Muslims and people of other faiths and of no faiths…
Farrukh Ahmed – The poet who wrote probably the definitive poem about the poor from a spiritual standpoint
Rabindranath Tagore – the romantic poet, philosopher and linguist – Tagore has been overly associated with the Nobel Prize, which has undermined the original contributions made in so many fields his writings addressed…
Keats and a Rebel in England who came close to echoing the thoughts found in the activism of Tom Paine
Shelley – the role is very similar to Keats, though the range is different..
at 3 PM on Saturday 30 June 2007 at the corner of Spital Street and Hanbury Street London E1.
A word about the venue: The Crossrail hole will be dug yards from the venue. Unless the community starts a new mobilisation now to finish off the remaining hole plot that is still contained in the ‘Crossrail Bill’ [now in the UK House of Commons]
