Living By The Hungry Sea Poem by Muzahidul Reza

Living By The Hungry Sea

Rating: 4.8


My house is near a sea
The sea is my neighbour
I understand the sea
But the sea does not understand me,

At the time of tide it embraces me
My property
But at ebb most of the times it takes away
My cattle, precious thing
Giving me nothing
Only some broken and useless shells
Some dead fishes and nasty plants,

Again, its waves always frighten me
In hungry style
With only anger, no smile.

The grandest element of today’s culture is perhaps technology – social media’s takeover in particular – and its frightening ability to exploit us in what we do, what we think, what we “like, ” what we believe. Social media was created as a way for adults, teens, and now even children to truly reposition themselves – to go from their simple selves to a kind of social celebrity. We can certainly blame “culture” for this exploitation, but as frequent users of media such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, we are ultimately exploiting ourselves....

Out of Control; Exploitation in the World People are most commonly taken advantage of because their weaknesses are preyed on and played; their own faults are used against them to help a cause that they have no say in the matter. Child soldiers, suicide bombers and tourism on a corrupt impoverished country all fall into the dominated group because they’re all targeted for a specific reason. Beah, Said, Khaled and the country of Antigua are constantly led to believe that these sadistic acts that are diminishing their home are for the benefit of both themselves and their people....

injustices that are bestowed upon mankind, none are greater than the ones inflicted by our own species of apathy towards poverty and the hardships of our brothers. Steinbeck gives a view of human frailties and strengths from many different perspectives in “The Grapes of Wrath.” This book demonstrates how people can overcome destitution, team up to find solutions, and provide protection and security in times of trouble. Steinbeck introduces people who are hard working and honest, that reach out selflessly with compassion towards others....

Sailor of the sea I know the sea but it does not seem to know me High tide is fond while ebb takes our bond, crushed Rogue waves frighten, sorrow Emotional terrorist today, fair winds tomorrow I'll keep sailing and see Dad
