Duty & Religion Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Duty and religion
Saturday,22nd January 2022
No one can be forced to teach a lesson
but for a valid reason
it should neither be against religious preaching
nor against its practicing
it can't stand a debate
and seal the fate
who also wants to practice the tolerance?
this proves to be a matter of intolerance
so far, so nice
it is an age old practice
running in the place of origin
and creating a harmonious scene
where its practice goes against the humanity
it has to face the severity
severity of laws and other restrictions
followed by that nation
refugees are given liberty to reside
their ancient roots should not decide
they must convince that they are not violating the hospitality
of the liberal and sympathetic country
if that community is trying to create disharmony
risking the lives of that country
then, any restriction imposed is justifiable
there should not any argument by any individual
If Burqa or the ve3il is used for terrorist activities
it is not only condemned but chargeable under the rule
no individual can fool the people
by citing liberties towards religion
people all over live with liberties
but along with that they have duties also
no country shall allow its land for for hatred
and that is how they have to lead as per norms
your morality ends where you raise your voice
breach the civil practice
and put the religion first
practice it at home and welcome the new change outside
