Art

A Poem by Dupur Mitra



Government needs huge land for making art academy.

For these,
government has been uprooted us.

Now we have no land.

No land to live.

Government needs police,
Government needs army,
to protect the art academy.

Although they know we have no arms,
we have no voice,
we have not a simple power to say that,
these lands is ours'.

Many many artists,
many many poets,
many many philosophers will come art academy.

Administration is fully concerned.

No incident will be happened there.

Government needs more lands for constructing art academy.

You need some help with your grammar. As far as subject manor goes I feel like this is a fascinating piece. For the flow and the use of language- it could be more interesting.
I am going to rewrite your poem here, I won't be changing anything- just writing what you meant to:

The Government wants lots of land for a new art academy

Because of the government's plan-
we've been uprooted.

Now we have no land.
No we have nowhere to live.

Government needs police,
Government needs army,
to protect the Art Academy.

We have no arms.
We have no voice.
We cannot even say: Hey, this land is ours!

Many, many artists,
many, many poets,
many, many philosophers
will come to the Art Academy.

The administration is concerned.

They have declared, nothing will happen there.

The Government needs more land for
their grand Art Academy.


Or something like that. At least that reads how I feel like you meant for it to sound, though, what the hell do I know.

Art don't need land. Schools may? I hope education and school never become one. Years ago in the USA. Police had to walk kids to class. Art and beauty is needed in this world. A interesting poem for thought. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

Well, sometimes the government just takes over and does what it pleases...and then crushes the people under it...
