Camps And Detentions Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

House arrest, confinement to camps and detention
All simple form of bondage in civil society you can mention
Some known elements taken in custody when emergency is declared
Otherwise it is curtailment of liberty when legal process is not cleared

From pure religious point of view it is totally objectionable
If person is peaceful then his actions can’t be questionable
If person is taken into preventive custody merely on assumption
Then it must be addressed immediately after proceeding’s resumption

Now the world scenario is totally changed and has created scare
Not a single place in world is safe where you can plan or dare
The terrorists have taken over the reign and hence it is major threat
Rest all violations matter less as life of person is at least safe inside gate

Civil liberty and basis rights were corner stone of democracy
Movement was not to be restricted even in emergency
Now you find whole nation’s movement is restricted and curtailed
Some of the dreaded actions are feared and contained

Whole concept of detaining person is changed
Now only strike and elimination is managed
Precisely target is destroyed and left with no sign
Some of the actions are perfected and designed

Old days may not return and confined as memory
So many old stalwarts may be feeling odd and sorry
They have stood the taste of time and excelled
Now whole of countries are condemned and labeled

It is nothing but sheer madness to monopolize
Compel weak nations to fall in line and oblige
Human violations have now become things of past
We are not sure how will survive and last
