The nightmare we are in

For the past few months, I have been in a lot of stress because my O-level exams are near at hand. My friends and I are all in a race every day to go from school to coaching. Recently, this came to a halt when the 60-hour and 84-hour hartals were announced. I see in the daily newspapers the horrifying pictures of policemen being beaten like animals, vehicles being torched, innocent civilians being beaten just because they were spotted by these so-called “activists”. I think I could be next… If a policeman cannot protect his own life, how can he protect mine?
I am a person who is really interested in the Liberation War, why it happened, what happened during the war. Freedom fighters' sacrifices, their undying love for the nation helped us to become free. I believe, if the martyrs of the liberation war could somehow know what the current situation of our nation is, they would actually be reluctant to sacrifice their lives back then. If their souls are watching us from the heavens above, then they are surely crying for us.
