Death Merchant -Black Marketeers Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Death merchant-Black marketeers
Thursday,6th May 2021

We, the Indians, understood the value of morality
we trusted fellow brethren and kept faith in an almighty
we stood together in the time of crisis
we helped each other and insisted on others too

with the advent of time
the mind of people changed each time
they started earning evil money
even did not care wherefrom it came handy!

Corona has played havoc
nobody has made an ad-hoc arrangement
they preferred an easy route
to loot the people

the vaccine is sold in the black market
the oxygen is stored and let
to the needy people at an exorbitant price
this changed behaviour is definitely surprises

people forget that one day they have to depart
they care less about the society for which they are the part
let us not allow humanity to suffer
let us stop these black marketeers and hoarders
