A Firm Resolution Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Tear the cloths and don’t wear
Be the coward and don’t fear
Don’t be sentimental and shed the tears
Discard the front and stay at the rear

Play it safe and live longer
Spread the lies and stay as monger
Carve out the position with clear image
Stay cool on the scene and ably manage

This is how today is demanding
People starve and life ending
Clear message of love and hatred only sending
Not much of good things reading

You raise your head and you are gone
You are way laid and completely done
To play with life has become child’s play
It is impossible now for honorable stay

You are not safe in your own area
No one is interested in listening to your plea
It is pure game of hunting the helpless
I pray God to offer them with all the bless

We shall stay here as mere creature
We see in it no bright future
The goons may emerge stronger and rule
We will watch them helplessly as fool

We are destined to lie low
No one will make the way for us and allow
We have miserably failed to follow
It is better we bow head and silently go

It has nothing to do with individual’s entity
It may sometimes not suit to your personality
The life must be lived with its continuity
There lies complete strength in unity

Until you do it with great zeal
The threat may remain as real
It has got all the relevance if you stay firm
Resolute in your action and firmly confirm
