This is an awesome poem. I am even writing a term paper on it. If you
haven't read it you really should give it a try.

What a beuatiful,stunning,heart wrenching poem.Leaves me absolutly
breathless everytime.Its so different from anything else Allen has ever
written.Such a blatant cry for simple humanity!You can feel his heart
crumble as you read it,you can feel his anger,you can see their faces.I
just came undone.So horrifying and beuatiful.It makes you
think,"Damn,someone should do something about it!".What am I doing?What are
you doing?Everyone should read it.

Jessore is small town of Bangladesh, located near the India-Bangladesh
border. Poet visited the town in 1971, when Bangladesh (Known as east
Pkistan then) was fighting against West Pakistan for freedom. Poet was was
deeply sorrowed to see the sufferings of men, women and babies. He
expressed his symphaty by this poem. In fact, "Jessore Road" still exists
and connects India and Bangladesh and ends at the centre of Kolkata, West
Bengal.
