Had I been a river, I would have run br to meet the sea. br Had I been the moon, I would have floated br smiling on the sky. br br Had I been a cloud, I would have poured down water br over the paddy and jute-fields. br Had I been a lamp, I would have spread light br in the corner of each dark house. br br Had I been crops, I would have grown br being gold. br Had I been fire, I would have burnt br the body of an oppressor. br br But if I had been a missile, I would have killed those br who bring only war on this beautiful earth.
