Civic Sense-No Violation Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Civic sense-No violence
Sunday,23rd February 2020

Let us come out
and talk about
the violence
that has made us all very tense

let us not go back to an early age
where women were kept almost in cage
not allowed freedom of movement
and allowed to present their woes

it is not with the women alone
we have gone out of our domain
dragged the children and taken work
and abused with even filthy words

women are brutally beaten
forgetting that we are human
we have same rights as that of human beings
and no one should be maltreated

whatever may be differences
we need to draw inferences from the past
until we do it ourselves
we shall have animal in us let loose in open

it is real evil
and we should not become devil
and fill the society with mere silence
let us become sensible with civic sense

We have become so cruel
Forgetting that it doesn't augur well
It is not only good for society
But not liked by an almighty too

Children are mercilessly beaten
They are not given food even
They are not given education
And sent to earn and collect the ration

We have entered now in 21st century
That is aimed at to bring equality
Not only for women and bondage labors
But for all those who have silently worked not for fame or honor
