Mother o' Mine

If I were hanged on the highest hill,
Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!
I know whose love would follow me still,
Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!

If I were drowned in the deepest sea,
Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!
I know whose tears would come down to me,
Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!

If I were damned of body and soul,
I know whose prayers would make me whole,
Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!

CITY WORMS

Abandoned city,
I stroll on by,
I turn my head,
To the blood red sky,
The city of worms,
They always said,
If it is willed, I shall be dead,
The city of worms,
They always said,
I stand here now,
Among the dead,
Screams of terror,
Screams of fear,
I stroll on by,
Its now so clear,
The city is dead,
They always say,
But here I am,
In the light of day,
A dark cloud swirls,
It rolls on by,
The dead look up,
Towards the sky,
They raise their hands,
Screaming to be free,
But all is lost,
when they see me.

LOVE

A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.
Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the foldLike silken thread
it holds us fastBonds like this are meant to last.
And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strongIn a special world,
where we belong.

Hey notun bochor,

tomar uttaper rong dhele dao,
jiboner pataye pataye,
shuru hok beche thakar,
notun oddhyaye.

PHILOSOPHY AND WRITING

'I write because I love to write': while writing, the writer often becomes quite conscience about his 'philosophy'. Is it true? Sometimes not or rather may be he is always consciously making an effort to showcase his 'philosophy'.

But the portrayal of one's 'philosophy' through ones's 'writing' and on top of that, when the reader decodes the 'writing'. In a way, the reader decifers each and every alphabet of the writing. Here comes the Semiotics or rather in the words of Gabrielle Almond "..... ascertive disassociation one's philosophy through constructive sassociation of one's philosophy...". Here semiotics with structural functionalism plays a major role- "I love apples". The image of pple can be red or green in the readers's mind, whereas might be the philosophy of the writer does not permit the reader to imagine a specific kind of apple.
Disassociation of one's work from his own 'philosophy' is quite a difficult task. From reader's point of view making two components : 'philosophy and writing' is very well reflected in David Easton's essay on 'Disassociative Structure'- where he comments- "... constructive disassociation of philosophy is the destructive association of structural materiaism".

None the less 'philosophy' will stay as "... destructive composition of ideas..."- Sassaure, and 'writing' will stay as "... assertive volume of ideas..."- not seperable from "... deductive composition"- Sassaure.
