Our dreams

I am not a great fan of the Awami League. Yet, I have accepted the people's verdict. Now remains a great future to see where the new leaders will set a trend of sacrifices and relentless endeavours to make the lot of the millions of this ill-fated nation shine with pride. They are our new leaders. We long to come out of the vortex of darkness into the colourful world of success in human freedom. A freedom where we will cherish our long lost norms of social justice and peace amongst all without any mud-slinging politics of revenge and hate. The leaders need to remember that the wind at the tree top, the lift of the eagle from the hills and the dust in the morning sun make us see temporal beauty but the reality is the tree needs to have strong roots not to fall down, the eagle needs to fly high to see its target and the dust needs to give way to a cleaner world. We wait for the bright future. We can do it and we will do it. We will become the mightiest nation one day and yes we dare to dream. Lucky are those who are living in our motherland as those of us who long to return are like lost tear-drops left to dry in foreign soils.
