Advice Not Heeded Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Advice not heeded
Friday,9th July 2021

It is a promising world
where opportunities are untold
young people are told
about the bright future and many new folds

young people may want to join
and remain
attached with the beautiful objects
and act with their fancies

it is such an age
that shall make them free and mismanage
the entire affair to their liking
and striking with the discordant note

if the head of the failing is growing old
and the young lad remains out of the fold
anxiety develops and troubles all in the family
but the youngsters carry no worries

the maturity may grow
only when water flow in the river becomes stable
some clarity appears visible
and makes a person become noble

life is a teaching platform
where people are informed
but taken as advice
and not promised in turn
