If I die for my secular view
I'll never go home again.
My room will sit unused,
A capsule frozen in time,
A snapshot of how I was.
If I die for my secular view
I'll never see my cat again.
He will sit at the front door
Waiting for me and wondering,
Why I never came home.
If I die for my secular view
I'll never see my mom again.
She will sit distraught,
Planning a funeral
For a child taken from her.
If I die for my secular view
I'll never see my friends again.
They'll sit together, missing me.
One empty seat among them,
A constant reminder of their loss.
If I die for my secular view
I'll never see my little sister again.
She will sit through high school
Knowing I can't guide her through,
That she has to figure it out alone.
If I die for my secular view
Will the world change?
Or will I become one of hundreds
Of men who have to die?
Rajib, Avijit, Washiqur, Bijoy,Niloy
Who's next?
If things continue this way
humans will have to live in fear.
They'll look over their shoulders
Always worried and wondering,
If they'll die for their secular view.
