“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....
