Corrupt Practice Here Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Corrupt practice
Thursday,22nd August 2019

If the protector becomes a robber
how can you usher!
in a peaceful environment
and feel content

if the country falls into the hands of people
who are likely to put the country into a shamble?
pray God that your country is survived
and such people are sent behind jails

if power allows you to follow the unhealthy practice
squander the public money and still take an oath and promise
that the country is in safe hands
it is an early demise of the promised land

when the politicians are blinded by power
it becomes difficult for a nation not to suffer
on the simple fact that morality is lost in the wilderness
and it becomes almost impossible to project the national face

it is not the faces that are presented before international communities
but what is the stand for a nation and priorities
no one shall support if the corruption seized the scene
the consequences are definitely seen
