POEM: "I don't know why" says a Rohingya

By Dr. Abid Bahar

POEM: "I don't know why" says a Rohingya
"I don't know why" says a Rohingya.
But I thought I didn't know the answer to why
But I know, I know why, I know why and why

I know the state of the Rohingya life in Arakan 
These are regular people, their families, I know why they cry
I know they don't have any protection in Arakan
I know Rohingyas are scared, hungyy and they cry
