Burn His Effigy Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

“As you saw, so you reap” legend says
You always have open ways
Honesty always pays
As end of tunnel finds bright rays

The honest may always suffer
He may be short of good offers
The poverty shows sign of presence
He has to be careful always hence

On the contrary, the wicked man enjoys
He works less and gets more joy
The happiness brings momentary respite
It may be taken away shortly to his regret

The end is pathetic and miserable
It comes with dejection and problems
People keep distance and avoid contacts
Everybody is aware of his ill acts

Everything has gone into drain
He has nothing left to maintain
No medicine, no food and no money
He has disgraceful life to feel pity

He has nothing else to repent
The powerful man is now prepared to resent
But almighty is not prepared to accept apology
The people will later on burn his effigy
