Modern Day- Saint Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Modern day-saint
Sunday,6th June 2021

Will I ever attain sainthood?
without being understood
without leaving food,
that is good nutrition for the body!

how can it be made pure?
without ousting the impurity
that lies in every cell
to tell about my vicious mind

how can I attain the ways of salvation?
when remaining knee-deep with penetration
for the luxurious test
and desire for spending the rest of the life

I don't want to be a sage
but remain on a page
with known evils already seated in
but not compromising with the morality as human

let people not remember my role
and label me
but I stand for modern-day sage
who has a simple urge to come out from the cage
